The Mirotvorets website cited Andrey Zvyagintsevs visit to Crimea as grounds for including him in its database

Multi-award-winning Russian filmmaker Andrey Zvyagintsev has been added to Ukraine's notorious Mirotvorets (Peacemaker) 'kill list' for visiting Crimea.

According to the entry, the director supposedly violated "Ukraine's territorial integrity" by setting foot in the region that overwhelmingly voted to become part of Russia in a 2014 referendum. Kiev still claims the territory and refuses to recognize the outcome of the vote.

The personal details of Zvyagintsev's mother, Galina, and his wife, Anna Matveeva, have also been doxed.

The filmmaker, who currently resides in France, has been openly critical of Russia's military campaign against Ukraine.

Taking the podium at the Cannes Film Festival in May, after his film Minotaur was awarded the Grand Prix, Zvyagintsev addressed Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling on him to "stop this carnage."

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov responded by saying that the director "has no right" to make such criticisms, as he had never condemned the "bloody massacre that the Kiev regime unleashed in Donbass, starting from 2014, when the war began."

Launched in 2014 as a nominally independent project, Mirotvorets has been linked to Ukraine's security services and is notorious for publishing the personal details of anyone remotely deemed an enemy of the Ukrainian state. The website has targeted a wide range of international figures, including American journalist and podcaster Tucker Carlson, Hollywood director Woody Allen, former US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Croatian President Zoran Milanovic, former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, the late US diplomat Henry Kissinger, and musician Roger Waters.

Russian officials have denounced it as a hit list targeting individuals that Kiev allegedly wants to "eliminate."

Several individuals whose details were made public by Mirotvorets - including journalists and politicians - have been subsequently killed.
