This individual has been charged under statutes classified as terrorism or extremism offenses. However, these charges should be evaluated with significant scrutiny.

Andrei Petrauskas has been sentenced to nine years in prison for an arson attack on a military recruitment centre in Krasnoyarsk and for publicly justifying terrorism. He reportedly stated he wanted to do a good deed for society, and the justification charge stemmed from conversations with Ukrainian prisoners about the Russian Freedom Legion.
