The Moscow City News Agency published a press release on the initiation of a criminal case under the article on justifying terrorism (part 2 of article 205.2 of the Criminal Code) against a 62-year-old resident of the capital. Apparently, we are talking about civil activist Mikhail Krieger, whom the Cheryomushkinsky court sent to a pre-trial detention center on November 5 as a suspect under Part 2 of Art. 205.2 CC.

The Agency’s publication states that the case was initiated because of a post published by a man on the social network “no later than December 2020”, which allegedly justifies the actions committed “in 2018 in the city of Arkhangelsk and in 2019 on the territory of Moscow.” In the first case, it is most likely that Mikhail Zhlobitsky blew himself up in the Arkhangelsk building of the FSB, in the second, presumably, about Yevgeny Manyurov, who opened fire near the FSB building in Moscow.

On the morning of October 31, 2018, a local resident Mikhail Zhlobitsky detonated a bomb in the FSB building in Arkhangelsk. Three employees were injured, the young man himself died. A few minutes before the incident, a message about an explosion appeared in the telegram in the open chat of the Rebel Speech. In connection with this event, a criminal case of a terrorist attack was opened. OVD-Info is aware of more than 40 criminal cases of "justifying terrorism" initiated in the wake of the explosion in the Arkhangelsk FSB.

A criminal case was opened against Mikhail Kriger due to a publication mentioning Zhlobitsky
