As much as we hear less news about the Russian invasion on Ukraine nowadays, there are some hot topics coming up every now and then. This time, we are hearing another strange move that also involves gaming industry. Dmitry Glukhovsky, the author of Metro 2033, is reported to be put on Russia’s “wanted” list for “discrediting the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation” (translated by Google in the news source) on Instagram.

Glukhovsky also shared this news on Telegram about being in the wanted list of the Interior Ministry. His Instagram post said “Stop the war! Recognize that this is a real war against an entire nation and stop it! Mariupol.” (translated by Google in the news source). In his Telegram message, he said “I am ready to repeat everything that is said there. Stop the war! Recognize that this is a war against an entire nation and stop it!”

A report in Reuters mention that he is the first “major cultural figure” that faces such a situation under the new law about protesting the war. In reaction to this decision by Russian government, Lyubov Sobol, a high-profile Russian political figure and associate of imprisoned Putin opponent Alexei Navalny, said on Twitter that “previously, Putin was only afraid of politicians, now writers too.”
