Disqualified

The Director Disqualification Sanction was imposed on 09/04/2025.

— UK FCDO Sanctions List,

Deputy General Director of the state-owned Russia-1 TV channel on special information projects, anchor of the Vesti v Subbotu ("Saturday News") newscast. Engaged in corruption and propaganda work in favor of the Putin regime. In November 2018, the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) published an investigation claiming that Brilev and his wife Irina have British citizenship and own an apartment in London worth £700,000. The FBK investigation also called Sergey Brilev one of the main Putin’s propagandists, who never gives any negative information about either the President or the Russian government. Blirev’s Vesti v Subbotu newscasts completely ignored mass protest rallies against the highly unpopular pension reform, unprecedented protests in Ingushetia, and exposure of GRU employees involved in the poisoning of the Skripals in Salisbury.
