Nikita Nagorny

Nikita Nagorny (Russia)

Sport: Artistic Gymnastics
Status: Four-time Olympic medallist, three-time world champion

Nikita Nagorny maintains close and well-documented ties with Russian propaganda and paramilitary structures. He holds the military rank of junior lieutenant and has served as Chief of the General Staff of the All-Russian Military and Patriotic Public Movement Yunarmiya.

Nagorny has actively participated in fundraising campaigns aimed at supporting Russian military forces, visited hospitals treating wounded occupiers, and acted as a proxy for Vladimir Putin during the so-called Russian presidential elections.

These activities demonstrate systematic involvement in military and propaganda structures, rendering any claim of neutrality untenable.
