Iakov Vorontsov
Iakov Vorontsov is a former clergyman who gained notoriety in early 2022 when he joined 292 other Orthodox priests in signing an open letter advocating for peace in Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict. He was subsequently suspended from his clerical duties in 2023 and defrocked in 2024 following legal troubles, including a previous investigation concerning incitement of national hatred. Recently, Vorontsov was arrested in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on charges of organizing a drug den and possession of illegal substances, raising concerns about his ability to evade justice and influence witnesses.
