The Cheryomushkinsky District Court of Moscow sent 22-year-old BelSU student Ibragim Orudzhev to a pre-trial detention center in the case of teaching terrorism (Article 205.3 of the Criminal Code): the investigation believes that the young man was going to set fire to the military registration and enlistment office. This is reported by a Mediazona correspondent from the courtroom.
According to the official version, on November 10, Orudzhev “conducted reconnaissance of the area... with the aim of further arson” of the military registration and enlistment office on Dmitry Ulyanov Street. At the same time, the defense claims that the young man visited the Zoomedic veterinary clinic, located not far from the military registration and enlistment office. Lawyer Tatyana Okushko provided the receipt from the clinic to the court.
The young man also photographed the working hours of the military registration and enlistment office and voluntarily showed these pictures to the police. He explained that he had to register with the military registration and enlistment office and therefore took photographs. “The sanction of the article is from 15 years. For what? Because he walked past the military registration and enlistment office and photographed the work hours? — comments Okushko.
The investigation claims that Ibragim Orujov was inspired by the activities of Azov and Right Sector, banned in Russia. During an inspection in his apartment, security forces allegedly found instructions with chemical formulas that, according to the investigative examination, can be used to make Molotov cocktails. In addition, a diary with the “Cheremukha Plan” about the arson of government buildings was allegedly found on the young man.
Finally, the investigation noted that Orudzhev subscribed to Ukrainian telegram channels, and also connected the bot of the Ukrainian project for helping prisoners of war “I Want to Live.”
Orudzhev was detained on November 10 while he was taking photographs of the military registration and enlistment office. On November 13, the Gagarinsky District Court of Moscow arrested a student for 10 days in the case of disobedience to the security forces (Part 1 of Article 19.3 of the Administrative Code): the security forces claim that he refused to accompany them to draw up a report under the article on petty hooliganism (Part 1 of Article 20.1 Code of Administrative Offences). The court clarifies that when the decision on administrative arrest was made, Orudzhev was already suspected under articles of terrorism (Article 205 of the Criminal Code) and treason (Article 275 of the Criminal Code).
- Since the beginning of the full-scale war with Ukraine, military registration and enlistment offices and administrative buildings have been set on fire in various Russian cities. After the announcement of the “partial” mobilization, such arson became more frequent— several dozen cases of arson of military registration and enlistment offices are known . Some of the criminal cases in connection with the arson of military registration and enlistment offices, as well as police departments, the FSB and administrative buildings are listed in our guide to the “anti-war case”. OVD-Info suggests that at least some of these actions were a response to military aggression from Russia.
