Victoria Listunova
cultural
Viktoriya Listunova is a Russian artistic gymnast who was denied a visa by the Netherlands to participate in the 2026 World Championships in Rotterdam. She was among three top Russian gymnasts—Angелина Мельникова and Анна Калмыкова—whose visa applications were rejected, with the official reason cited as being considered a threat by one or more Schengen states. The Federation of Gymnastics of Russia and Russian officials criticized the decision as politically motivated and stated that the athletes were unable to compete due to the visa refusal.
