Russia has added Mikhail Khodorkovsky to its list of "extremists and terrorists", the RIA news agency reported on Wednesday, citing the country's financial watchdog.

In October, Russia's Federal Security Service opened a criminal case against Khodorkovsky and other prominent Kremlin critics, accusing them of plotting to violently seize power.
