Odaily Planet Daily News Anatoly Aksakov, Chairman of the Russian State Duma Financial Market Committee, called for an end to Hamster Kombat's operations in the country, calling it manipulative and deceptive. "Such things must be stopped. In my opinion, this is clearly a scam. Manipulating and exploiting the psychology of citizens. Especially those who don't really want to work, but dream that they can get rich with minimal effort." In addition, Aksakov also criticized the activities that Hamster Kombat users need to complete in order to get airdrops, saying that "people are gullible, and sometimes it all comes down to Internet addiction."
