Alexander Perov, a 53-year-old local resident, was detained in St. Petersburg on July 31, 2023. He threw two Molotov cocktails into the military enlistment office building on Tchaikovsky Street, and then tried to ram it with a car. During the interrogation, the man reported that since mid-July, telephone scammers had been "processing" him via WhatsApp, and during this time they had persuaded him to take out several loans under various pretexts. Then a bank security service employee allegedly approached Perov, introducing himself as "German Aleksandrovich" and offering, according to preliminary information, to connect him with someone who could help in his trouble. And provided the suspect with the contact of "FSB officer Kolesnikov. Kolesnikov and proposed to carry out a provocation on Tchaikovsky in order to gain access to documents that, according to him, are allegedly sent to Ukraine from the military enlistment office.
