Anatoly Chernyshov , the executive director of the Russian foundation “People’s Front: Everything for Victory!” , has been killed in Crimea. He was raising funds and collecting aid for the Russian Federation’s occupying army, according to OBOZ.UA.

Chernyshov, 58, sustained fatal mine-blast injuries near Simferopol. This was reported on the organization’s Telegram channel.

According to the Russian foundation, Anatoly Chernyshov sustained mine-blast injuries near the village of Skvortsovo in the Simferopol district of occupied Crimea.

The organization claims that he was wounded as a result of a Ukrainian airstrike. He was subsequently hospitalized, but doctors were unable to save him.

The organization also announced that Chernyshov had been posthumously awarded the Order of Courage.

Chernyshov had served as the foundation’s chairman since October 2025. The organization was registered in Moscow in 2014, and its activities involve fundraising and providing aid to the Russian military as part of the pro-government “All-Russian People’s Front.”

It should be noted that the “People’s Front” is a pro-government Russian organization established with the participation of Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin. Its foundation, “Everything for Victory!”, raises funds and provides support to Russian troops fighting against Ukraine.
