Petr Gumennik recently won the qualifier for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games

Russian figure skating star Petr Gumennik has been added to the 'kill list' run by Ukraine's state-backed Mirotvorets website, which publishes the personal details of individuals it labels as 'enemies' of the state.

According to a November 9 entry, Gumennik is accused of "war propaganda" and "attacks on Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity," and deemed "complicit" in Russia's alleged "crimes" against the country.

The entry featured Gumennik's photos alongside other Russian public figures previously listed by Mirotvorets and included a mention of his father, Oleg Gumennik, a priest of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC). Under the current Kiev regime, the Ukrainian church affiliated with the ROC has faced raids, arrests, and bans over alleged ties to the Kremlin.

Gumennik has not commented on his inclusion on the list. He won the qualifier for the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics in September and is set to compete as a neutral athlete due to Ukraine-related sanctions on Russia.

Vladislav Dikidzhi, Russia's reigning men's singles champion and a potential replacement for Gumennik in Milan, was added to the website the same day under similar accusations.

Commenting on the listings, legendary Russian coach Tatyana Tarasova said the athletes were likely targeted for their Olympic prospects, and condemned the publication of their personal data as "a violation of all human rights."

"I don't understand why the entire world, even the International Olympic Committee, listens to Ukrainians," she said. "Sport and politics are two different things."

Mirotvorets, which operates independently but maintains close ties to Ukraine's security services, has been branded a "kill list" after multiple people featured on it were later murdered or died under suspicious circumstances. Each entry notably includes the targeted person's "date of elimination" field directly beneath the birthdate.

The site has recently added numerous Russian and foreign figures accused of ties to the Russian government or of spreading pro-Russian views. Earlier this year, filmmakerWoody Allen, Hollywood actorMark Eydelshteyn, and even a group of Russian children - the youngest just three years old - were added.

Russian officials have denounced Mirotvorets as extremist. Western media and institutions have also criticized the website, while human rights and press freedom groups condemned it for publishing personal data of journalists and civilians, warning it poses threats to safety and due process.
