List of Russian detainees at Guantanamo Bay

The United States Department of Defense confirms the detention of nine Russian nationals at Guantanamo. Nonetheless, the precise count of Russian citizens held there is uncertain, as some detainees are not included in official documentation. Additionally, one individual from Uzbekistan is recorded as Russian.

Since its establishment on January 11, 2002, the Guantanamo Bay detention camps in Cuba have held a total of 778 detainees under extrajudicial detention. The detainee population reached its maximum of approximately 660 in 2004. Following the United States Supreme Court decision in Rasul v. Bush, only nineteen new prisoners classified as "high-value" were transferred to the facility.
