Top executives from Wargaming and Lesta Games face potential seizure of assets by the Russian government due to accusations of extremist activities. This stems from Wargaming's fundraising efforts for Ukraine in 2023 following the invasion, which Russia has interpreted as anti-government sentiment. Although Wargaming transferred development of the game to Lesta Games after leaving Russia, the legal rationale for accusations against Lesta remains unclear. Despite the situation, Lesta Games asserts its operations comply with all relevant laws, denying any wrongdoing.
The company works in full compliance with the legislation of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, so we have no grounds for any concerns or concealment of information.
Wargaming ran a campaign in World of Tanks raising money for medical aid in Ukraine in 2023, which the Russian government interprets as anti-Russian extremist activity.
