“Today I was called to the migration department of Palanga and they gave me a written answer stating that my application will be considered,” Gorsky said.
Asylum applications are usually processed within several months.
Russian law enforcement agencies accuse Gorsky of chanting “Ukraine – Maidan, Russia – Manezhnaya Square, tires, barricades, fire!” during nationalist marches in May! and “Revolution 5-11-17”, publicly called for extremist actions. In the Russian Federation, Gorsky is included in the list of extremists. Gorsky himself claims that his cries were incorrectly interpreted as “calls to storm the Kremlin.” In fact, he says, his demands are different: “I strive for change in Russia and I strive to ensure that Vladimir Putin does not get re-elected for another term.”
As you know, after the start of the war in Ukraine, the Russian nationalist movement split. Some nationalists openly supported Maidan and are now fighting for Kyiv as part of the so-called forces. “ATO” and in Nazi formations like “Azov”.
