Case Description
A criminal case was opened in the Kaliningrad region against local resident Igor Odintsov for public calls to terrorism. The date of his detention is unknown.
According to the investigation, Odintsov posted on a messaging app informational materials stating that the ideology and practice of terrorism are correct. Details of the charges are unknown.
No information is available on the measure of restraint.
It is known that Odintsov was detained on September 17, 2026, on the border with Lithuania — he swam across the Neman River from the Kaliningrad region into Lithuania, where he was stopped by border guards. The man said he was being persecuted in Russia due to his social media activity and requested political asylum. That same evening, Odintsov was handed over to the Russian side at the Panemunė crossing. On September 21, Odintsov was placed in custody.
On September 30, 2026, the Baltic Fleet Military Court found Igor Odintsov guilty and sentenced him to 6 years in a maximum-security penal colony.
