The non-existent “Trans-Baikal Left Association” - the Latin abbreviation ZLO - was recognized as terrorist, and its activities were banned in Russia. The defendants in the case in the Trans-Baikal Regional Court were the defendants in the “Chita case”, anarchist Alexander Snezhkov and Lyubov Lizunova.

Snezhkov and Lizunova are already in prison on the fabricated “Chita case.” Snezhkov is being held in pre-trial detention center number two in Krasnokamensk, Trans-Baikal Territory, where he is awaiting an appeal against the verdict in the second case of justification of terrorism. Security officials believe that he justified terrorism when he read excerpts from materials on the first case to his cellmates. Lizunova is serving her sentence in correctional colony number seven in Ulan-Ude.

The prosecution believes that the “Trans-Baikal Left Association” is a 75zlo public page with one hundred subscribers. In 2022, news was published there about resistance actions in Russia, anti-war protests and animal protection. For these publications, Snezhkov and Lizunova were convicted in the first case. The lawsuit was filed by the acting prosecutor of the Trans-Baikal Territory Stanislav Nemtsov. He did this in the interests of an indefinite circle of people and the Russian Federation. The activities of the non-existent organization also included graffiti ZLO and Snezhok - Snezhkov's pseudonym - in Chita.

In a press release, the courts claim that the organization’s activities are aimed at promoting, justifying and supporting terrorism, as well as committing crimes of a terrorist nature. What exactly this was manifested in, other than posts in the channel and graffiti, is not specified. Moreover, the lawsuit was preceded by a publication in the propaganda publication “Arguments and Facts,” which stated that the organization continued to operate even after the imprisonment of Snezhkov and Lizunova.

Previously, Snezhkov was sentenced to five years in prison, in addition to his first sentence of six years, for allegedly calling for terrorist activities because he read his case materials to fellow inmates.
