PersonBorn 9 Jan 1985Last read from source 19 Oct 2026

Anton Rychar is the head of Pre-trial Detention Centre 1 UFSIN in the Jewish Autonomous Oblast. Pavel Kushnir, a musician with an anti-war stance, was held in that facility from May 2024 until his death on 28 July 2025. He was charged with “public calls for terrorism” for his statements against the Russian authorities. During his imprisonment, he went on a dry hunger strike. According to witnesses’ testimonies, he lost approximately 10 kilograms and looked like “a skeleton”. Other sources stated that Kushnir was beaten in custody by his fellow inmates. A witness also saw a bruise on Kushnir’s face. Anton Rychar is responsible for the conditions of Kushnir’s incarceration, which led to his death due to insufficient medical treatment.

The designation is of the jurisdiction, not of this record.

Not scored

Company associations

Not scored. No company role is recorded for this person, which is an absence of records rather than a finding.

Evidence coverage

Not scored. The evidence ledger records which sources were read for a COMPANY; it holds no per-person rows, so there is no coverage figure to price in here. The sources behind this record are listed under Evidence.

Adverse media

Not scored. Media coverage is not linked to individuals in this system at all, only to companies, and even there it covers a small fraction of the records.

Band drawn from the components that could be measured, methodology v5. The unscored ones above are gaps in what was read, not findings of nothing. Not a compliance determination — check the underlying listings before acting on anything here.
