| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] In Solnechnogorsk near Moscow, a criminal case was opened against a former member of the Ukrainian “Right Sector” under the article on preparation of a terrorist attack (Part 1 of Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), a source told IA Regnum. As it became known, FSB officers detained suspect Alexey S. last year for the manufacture of explosives, their storage, transportation and hooliganism. However, it soon became clear that the man went to Ukraine in 2016 and joined the extremist organization Right Sector. In 2022, Alexey returned to Russia with the goal of carrying out explosions in the Moscow region. In a forest belt in Solnechnogorsk, he created a cache in which he stored explosive substances and Molotov cocktails. Three criminal cases were opened against him at once, but the court insisted on toughening the article. As a result, the case was reclassified under Part 1 of Art. 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Terrorist act”). This article provides for a punishment of 10 to 15 years in prison. On October 4, Regnum news agency wrote that a native of the Chelyabinsk region, recruited abroad, intended to carry out a terrorist attack in the Altai Territory on instructions from a banned pro-Ukrainian terrorist organization. During a search at the suspect's place of temporary residence, components for making an improvised explosive device (IED) were discovered and seized.
