The hero of RT publications, anti-Maidan activist from Ukraine Ivan Goncharov received a Russian passport. In June 2015, a man was arrested in Vinnitsa region for espionage in favor of the unrecognized republics of Donbass. During the investigation, Goncharov survived torture by the SBU. The court sentenced him to 14 years in prison, but at the end of 2017 he was released during the exchange of prisoners between Ukraine and the DPR. Once at large, the man went to the Belgorod region, hoping to become a citizen of the Russian Federation. After the publications of RT, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia recognized the right of Goncharov as a native speaker of the Russian language to obtain citizenship in a simplified manner. On January 18, he received a Russian passport.
