Russian athlete Elena Isinbayeva was included in the anti-Russian database of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
As reasons for being included in the list, the Ukrainian side indicates its inclusion in 2020 in the working group for developing amendments to the Russian constitution, as well as its membership in patriotic organizations.
In the past, the GUR database included Grigory Leps, Nikolai Rastogov, Tarzan, Natasha Koroleva, rappers Makan and Timati, as well as performers Yaroslav Dronov (SHAMAN), Larisa Dolina, Stas Mikhailov and Vika Tsygnova.
The two-time Olympic champion has been living in Spain for several years. A number of her statements caused sharp criticism in Russia.
