## Key points

- A St Petersburg court ordered Nevzorov’s family evicted from their former home.
- The ruling cancels their registrations and follows confiscation of the property.
- Nevzorov was sentenced in absentia to eight years in prison.

## Summary

A St Petersburg court has ordered exiled journalist Alexander Nevzorov, his wife, son and 83-year-old mother-in-law to leave their former home in Lisy Nos. It ruled that they no longer had the right to use the property and cancelled their residence registrations there, extending the state’s action against the family’s Russian assets.

The ruling follows a December 2024 decision confiscating the house and land, which belonged to Natalia Kolesnikova after she bought them from her daughter in 2023; the court invalidated that sale. Nevzorov and his wife left Russia after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian authorities designated him a “foreign agent”, sentenced him in absentia to eight years in prison over alleged “fake news” about the military, and declared the couple an “extremist association”; a criminal investigation into suspected financing of extremism opened in 2025.
