Vyacheslav Nikolaevich PISKLOV

PersonBorn 15 Aug 1985Last read from source 19 Oct 2026

Vyacheslav Pisklov is the head of Penal Colony 9 UFSIN in Altai Krai. Maria Ponomarenko is a prisoner who is being held in that facility. On 15 February 2023, she was sentenced to six years of imprisonment on the charge of spreading “false information” about the Russian armed forces. In March 2025, while she was incarcerated, she was sentenced to 22 additional months in prison for allegedly using violence against prison staff. The Memorial “Support for Political Prisoners” programme recognised her as a political prisoner. While serving a sentence in the penal colony, Ponomarenko was mistreated, including by being repeatedly put in a solitary confinement in harsh conditions for far-fetched reasons and being deprived of medical treatment. This has led to her breakdown and subsequently three suicide attempts, two of which took place in the penal colony. Pisklov, as the head of the penal colony, is responsible for that facility’s policy towards Ponomarenko.

Russia is named on a jurisdiction designation list — European Commission, EU list of high-risk third countries (AMLD Art. 9), section IV: “High-risk third countries which are not identified as being subject to calls for action or increased monitoring by the FATF, but whose membership in that international standard-setter is suspended”. 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.
