Eliseev Danil Alekseevich

In early September 2023, three 19-year-old local residents - Danil Alekseev, Arseniy Klimin and Nikita Sukhorukov - were detained in Yekaterinburg." All three were accused of attempted terrorism by a group of persons by prior conspiracy. According to the investigation, the young men allegedly planned to carry out sabotage at the stations Putevka, Shuviksh and Apparatsnaya. At the end of August, Sukhorukov was supposed to photograph transport infrastructure facilities and later break into and set them on fire. According to the prosecution, Klimin took on the responsibility of organizing terrorist acts, carrying them out by setting fire to railway equipment in order to create social tension and instability of the Russian Federation's authorities. The young man was also looking for new members for their group. According to the charges, Arseny Klimin, who was looking for work in Nizhny Tagil, was contacted via Telegram by Andrei Martynov, previously unknown to him, who was allegedly associated with the "Freedom of Russia" legion." "Martynov offered Klimin "work" - to commit terrorist acts on behalf of Ukraine as part of an organized group. Later, Arseniy met Danil Eliseev in an online video game and offered the latter to carry out terrorist attacks. From July 1 to August 9, Eliseev joined the group and shared Klimin's duties in recruitment. It was then that Danil recruited Nikita Sukhorukov. Following Martyanov's instructions, Sukhorukov purchased materials for carrying out terrorist attacks and also recorded crimes on video in order to hinder the continuation of the "SVO" (special military operation). Sukhorukov used a hammer, matches, and other items to carry out sabotage. Arseniy Klimin himself is convinced that he was recruited through Telegram by FSB employees for 'freelance assistance' - to identify 'unreliable elements capable of sabotage for the benefit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces'. During the interrogation, Klimin claimed that he was acting on the orders of the officer of the Center for Combating Extremism, Yevgeny Pastukhov, who in April 2023 gave the task of establishing contacts with people who organize terrorist attacks in Russia. Pastorov sent him links to the social networks of the "Legion" for "obtaining valuable information on countering extremism." On September 7, 2023, the Verkh-Isetsky Court sent young people to a pre-trial detention center. On May 19, 2025, the Central Military District Court found the defendants guilty and sentenced Arseniy Klimin to 8 years in prison, Danil Eliseev and Nikita Sukhorukov to 7 years, 4 of which they must serve in prison, and the remaining term in a strict regime penal colony.
