Case Description
In Rostov-on-Don, on the night of September 17, 2023, near the military enlistment office, 19-year-old Viktor Rudnev from Krasnoyarsk and 17-year-old Maxim Sidorenko from Novosibirsk were detained." According to law enforcement officials, during a search, several bottles with an incendiary mixture, a 'contract' with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and a questionnaire for joining the 'Freedom of Russia' legion were found in Rudnev's backpack. Also claimed that Rudnev had a "huge rubber sex toy" with him. During the interrogation, he allegedly stated that he is transgender and wants to change his gender. Criminal cases were opened against young people for attempted terrorist attack, by a group of persons, and participation in the activities of a terrorist organization. The defendants in the case were sent to a pre-trial detention center for the duration of the investigation. On July 10, 2025, the Southern District Military Court found the defendants guilty and sentenced Viktor Rudnev and Maxim Sidorenko to 6 years of imprisonment in a general regime colony. November 25, 2025, the Appellate Military Court left the sentence unchanged.
