Journalist Kirill Poznyak was detained on September 4, the day the YouTube channel Platforma 375 was recognized as an “extremist group.” In 2021–2022, the channel held several debates between pro-government propagandists and their opponents who were forced to leave the country. Kirill Poznyak was one of the debate hosts. In his opening remarks, he stated that debates are needed to create a “dialogue platform so that opponents can at least hear each other,” as well as to “raise the level and culture of debates and discussions,” and for the disputing parties to have the opportunity to “broadcast not only to their own audience, but also to the audience of undecided people and to the public of opponents.”

The channel, as well as its TikTok accounts, were included in the “List of organizations, formations, and individual entrepreneurs involved in extremist activity” on September 11.
