Lebedev Sergey Sergeevich

In Syktyvkar at the end of August 2025, a 24-year-old local resident, algebra and geometry teacher Sergei Lebedev, was detained. He was accused of sabotage, by a group of persons by prior conspiracy, resulting in significant property damage or other serious consequences. According to the investigation, on the night of August 26-27, Lebedev, acting on the instructions of unidentified persons, set fire to a diesel locomotive on the territory of the depot. The fire rendered the locomotive unfit for operation, disrupted passenger transportation, created a threat of an accident, and caused significant material damage to JSC Russian Railways. On August 28, 2025, the Syktyvkar City Court of the Republic of Komi placed Lebedev in custody at the request of the investigation. In the photo from the press service of the Syktyvkar City Court, it is clearly visible from the courtroom that Lebedev has a dark spot on his ear, presumably a hematoma.
