Reasons
As a public figure, he disseminates kremlin propaganda narratives, systematically supports russia's armed aggression against Ukraine, the annexation of Crimea, putin's policies, and the kremlin regime, distorts facts about the war against Ukraine, and glorifies the occupiers' war crimes.
In 2014, he publicly supported the temporary occupation of Crimea and claimed that the local population allegedly widely supported the introduction of russian troops, and warned of "possible provocations".
Since 2021, he has been living in the temporarily occupied Crimea and actively promoting the legitimization of its russian occupation. In particular, he is the author of the text of the so-called new anthem of Crimea, approved by the occupying authorities on August 22, 2025. In addition, in 2019, Reznik opened the Malenkaya Strana children's musical theater in the temporarily occupied Yalta.
In 2022, he supported the so-called SMO, stating that putin and the russian army "saved the country from fascism."
In 2023, he wrote the song "Beloved Do Not Die," dedicated to the participants of the so-called SMO.
Also in 2023, Reznik published a pocket collection of prayer books "About the Warriors of the russian Land" for russian military personnel and stated that the first ten thousand copies of the prayer books were immediately sent to soldiers on the front lines.
He was the founder of the russian FSB children's ensemble "Green Caps," which indicates his connection with law enforcement agencies and patriotic activities.
