Political stance
Larin and Vladimir Putin in 2021

Larin was among the two Russian athletes barred from entering the 2023 World Taekwondo Championships due to his explicit support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[4] Larin shot a video in which he called on people to donate for the mobilized Russian soldiers.[5] In October 2023, the Security Service of Ukraine was considering opening a case against Larin whom they accused of terrorism financing and encroachment on the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine.[6] On October 18, Larin was added to the Myrotvorets list.[7]
