Editor’s insight: the theory about a different name
A source close to the editorial team claims that Janis Vladimirovich Veselago used the name Kirill Nikolayevich Marushin. A similar account appears in public Telegram posts. The editorial team is investigating the claim linking the two names. [5] [6]
See Janis Veselago’s archive card No. 4080 — a separate entry under the name Veselago, citing the source and noting that the search is still ongoing. [1]
The Amur case concerning JWH supplies
In October 2012, AmurNews reported on a criminal case concerning the supply of JWH-group synthetic substances from China via Blagoveshchensk. The publication reported on the alleged role of Janis Veselago and stated that the court had sentenced Ivan Sukhoterin to seven years’ imprisonment. In January 2013, *Amurskaya Pravda* also covered the case and reported that Veselago was the subject of an international arrest warrant. A February article continued to cover the trial of another individual — Feng Lei. [2] [3] [4]
Search: historical report and current status
The available materials confirm that Veselago was reported to be wanted in 2012–2013 and that there is a file in the editorial archive in his name. As of 5 November 2026, no current official confirmation has been found that the search for him in the Russian Federation or an international search is ongoing. [1] [2] [3]
