Case Description
On October 22, 2023, an unknown person set fire to a relay cabinet with equipment belonging to Russian Railways in Vyaznikovsky District, Vladimir Oblast. On October 23, 2023, FSB officers detained 47-year-old Alexei Sokolov, a resident of the Kovrovsky District of the Vladimir Oblast, on charges of arson. A criminal case was opened against him for treason, sabotage and preparation for participation in the activities of a terrorist organization. According to the investigation, the man made contact with a recruiter from one of the 'Ukrainian terrorist organizations' and expressed a desire to join their ranks. During the correspondence, the curator reported that as a test, he needs to complete at least two tasks, the first of which is arson of a transport infrastructure facility.
