Anatol Shary is a popular video blogger known for his sharp criticism of the Ukrainian authorities and Maidan supporters.

He was granted political asylum in the European Union in 2012, but was annulled by Lithuania in January 2022.

Many Ukrainian commentators call Sharia a pro-Russian propagandist.

A criminal case against him began last year - Ukrainian investigators believe that he is cooperating with Russia "committing information sabotage."

Shari refuses to cooperate with Russia.

At the same time, he repeatedly appeared on Russian TV channels, commented on Russian events, including more than once criticized the Russian opposition and Alexei Navalny personally.

Hours before Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February, Shary tweeted that he did not understand Russia's actions and spoke out against the war, but continued to criticize the actions of Ukrainian authorities.

After the start of the war, the activities of the Sharia Party blogger's supporters were suspended in Ukraine.
