This platform does not support, endorse, or condone terrorism or violent extremism in any form.
This individual has been charged under statutes classified as terrorism or extremism offenses. However, these charges should be evaluated with significant scrutiny. International human rights organizations — including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Memorial — have extensively documented that terrorism and extremism statutes in this jurisdiction are routinely applied to prosecute political dissidents, journalists, religious minorities, and peaceful protesters.
The inclusion of this case on the platform reflects the monitoring mission of documenting individuals who may be subject to politically motivated prosecution. It does not constitute an assessment of guilt or innocence, nor an endorsement of any actions attributed to the individual.
Aleksandr Snezhkov, an anarchist blogger, was initially sentenced to 6 years for graffiti and a Telegram post expressing approval of arson attacks on military recruitment centers. In a subsequent case, he received an additional sentence for justifying terrorism, bringing his total sentence to five years in a strict regime colony after being entrapped by a cellmate.
