Russia: Support anarchist Dmitry Osyagin, sentenced to 15 years for arson of a court building and anti-war comments

Posted on 2025/08/23 by darknights

Anarchist and anti-war activist Dmitry Osyagin from Kazan has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for setting fire to a court building. He was charged under three articles: calling for “extremism”, “terrorism” and committing a “terrorist act” .

According to investigators, in February 2023 Dmitry set fire to the court building in the Privolzhsky District of Kazan. The court was located on the ground floor of a residential building. As reported by the media, the fire damaged only the corner of a window frame and quickly went out. Initially, the case was opened under the article for property damage, but it was later reclassified as a “terrorist act”.

In addition to the arson, Osyagin was accused of making 17 posts calling for violence against government officials, including the President of Russia, and 27 posts which, according to investigators, contained terrorist rhetoric.

The court’s press release notes that Osyagin opposed the invasion of Ukraine and was allegedly a member of the anarchist group “Combat Organization of Anarcho-Communists” (BOAK), which has claimed responsibility for sabotage actions on railways and supports anarchist partisans. However, comrades from BOAK are not confirming Osyagin’s membership, saying:

“While proudly calling the imprisoned partisan a comrade and like-minded person, we cannot explain why state media call him a BOAK member. There are two possibilities: either he was indeed in contact with us and acted as an autonomous individual cell of the Organization — we do not collect any information about autonomous participants, and therefore precise identification is difficult — or the FSB, prosecutors, and court falsely attributed BOAK membership to him to ensure the longest possible sentence.”

After his arrest in 2023, Osyagin was added to the Rosfinmonitoring “list of terrorists and extremists.” Now, in addition to 15 years in prison, the court has banned him from administering any online resources for four years after his release.

The sentence was handed down by Central District Military Court Judge Alexander Raitskiy on June 18, 2025. Osyagin is being held in Yekaterinburg’s Detention Center No. 5 (SIZO-5).

Dmitry is a versatile person. Before his arrest, he worked in landscape design and fountain construction. He is interested in technology, IT, cryptocurrency mining, video games, history, and fantasy literature.

Russia: Radical Resistance 29.03 – 13.04.2023

Bashkortostan

On March 29 the court ordered four guerrillas to be put under arrest who used flammable liquid to set fire to a relay cabinet located at the 3rd kilometer of the line “Karlaman – Priuralie” in Karmaskalinsky district of the republic. Among the detainees were a student of a radio engineering college, a furniture polisher, an unemployed man and a teenager.

According to the investigation, after the first successful arson, they decided to set fire to a second cabinet near Urshak station. There they were detained, wearing balaclavas and carrying flammable liquids.

A criminal case was instigated under articles “Act of terrorism” and “Preparation for a crime”, while the first arson was prosecuted under article “Intentional destruction or damage to property”.

Kemerovo

On 31.03 guerrillas burnt a relay cabinet, this time in Kemerovo. The RDPS movement claimed responsibility, reporting that the local media were ordered to cover up the incident. The guerrillas managed to get away.

St. Petersburg

02.04 A bomb was detonated in a cafe in St. Petersburg, killing Vladlen Tatarsky (Maxim Fomin), a military correspondent and propagandist for Putin’s regime. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the explosive device detonated by remote control detonated between 300 and 450 grams of TNT equivalent. Responsibility for the action was claimed by “the St. Petersburg column of the National Republican Army,” associated with the tg-channel Rospartizan.

Cafe Patriot was founded by Yevgeny Prigozhin, and then handed it over to the patriotic movement Cyber Front Z. It organized a “creative evening” for Tatarsky.

Daria Trepova, an FBK supporter and participant of anti-war actions, was indicted. She is charged under Part 3 B of Article 205, Part 4 of Article 222.1 of the Criminal Code (terrorist act committed by an organized group, deliberately causing human death; illegal carrying of explosive devices, committed by an organized group). According to the investigation, on April 2, Trepova, “following the instructions of persons acting from the territory of Ukraine”, brought a statue stuffed with explosives to the cafe and gave it to Tatarsky.

Daria was detained in a rented apartment in the Vyborg district of the city. During the interrogation she stated that she was used undercover, that she did not know what was inside the statuette. She also stated that the fulfillment of the task of gaining Tatarsky’s trust and passing the statuette was a condition of getting a good job in Kiev.

Amur Region

Although authorities did not officially name the cause of the fire in the military registration and enlistment office in the Amur Region’s Svobodny village on 22 March, there is every reason to believe that it was caused by the actions of Amur guerrillas. The fire was extinguished by two fire engines. In September 2022 an attempt to burn the military registration and enlistment office in the village of Svobodny, at that time only the facade was burnt, now the attempt has been more successful.

Yaroslavl

On 23.03. there was a fire at the Yaroslavl motor plant Avtodizel. The plant manufactures engines for the Topol-M missile systems. It is reported that the electrical substation was the first to catch fire, burning transformer oil over an area of 30 square meters. Seven people were rescued by firemen from the burning building, another 218 people were evacuated by the site administration.
Fires at the plant have happened more than once. We have no information about the cause of this fire, but we hope that the production of military equipment was well damaged.

North Ossetia, Ingushetia

On the night of March 27-28, guerrillas attacked the police checkpoint Volga-14 and the police returned fire. The attack took place on the border of the two republics, but in North Ossetia, at the intersection of Nazran – Kantyshevo and Malgobek – Mayskoe roads. It was the first attack in the region in more than three years.

One policeman was shot in the leg, another hit his head on impact after hitting his flak jacket with a bullet. The attackers managed to get away and were reported to be at least three persons. Continue reading “Russia: Radical Resistance 22.03 -29.03.2023” →

Russia: Arson of the FSB building in Rostov-on-Don on 16.03.23. Statement by the Black Bridge RPA

Posted on 2023/03/26 by darknights

“Black Bridge” takes responsibility, or rather, claims co-authorship in “growing cotton” in the building of the FSB border department in Rostov-on-Don.

Officials claimed that the wiring there was short-circuited and fuel tanks exploded. They almost did not lie, but there are nuances. There was one tank of about three liters. It contained fuel called ammonal, about 3 kilograms. Inside was a smaller container with another fuel called “acetone triperoxide”. Inside the smaller container was a 3.5V flashlight bulb. Did you hear the explosion before the fire started? It was the bulb that burned out and burst.

The author of the “cotton-growing” science-practice paper went a little overboard with secrecy. He doesn’t fully believe in the power of modern cryptography (https://t.me/BlackBridgeSupport/281) and changed the town to confuse the trail, just in case someone before the action could find the raw data by brute force. The line of the announced hash is revealed as follows:

“Pavlovsky Posad. FSB. Greetings from Escobar.”

Without quotes, do not lose a dot at the end of the string and run twice through sha-256. Yes, the call sign is Escobar.

A word from the author:

The FSB is a bastion of hypocrisy, violence and injustice in this country. It is the staff of this structure that fabricates criminal cases against the unwanted, snatches business from entrepreneurs, carries out diversions against civilians, tortures oppositionists and physically eliminates “competitors”. Since the beginning of the events in Ukraine, none of the guerrillas has paid due attention to attacks on the buildings of their agency or the security services themselves. And for good reason. Burning down a military enlistment office or a Z-machine will never compare in effectiveness and resonance to significant damage to a federals office building or the liquidation of an individual who is an employee of the office.

I appeal to all those who are not indifferent, to those who are ready to oppose the regime by radical methods and already do so – switch to more serious goals. Don’t be afraid. Let the direct action taken in Rostov-on-Don serve as an example and motivate you to take on new challenges, even bigger ones. But remember: every operation must be carefully thought through to the last detail. Take your time. Check all the materials. Develop a strategy and tactics. Arrange a training operation some time before the real one. There should be no rush. You don’t have to be super prepared to be successful. It’s enough just to think ahead to solve all the possible problems that may arise during your event.

“Taking responsibility” sounds silly, like being guilty of something and writing a confession. It’s the FSB that is guilty and responsible, and the guerrillas are retaliating against the guilty, doing the right thing.

Good action is art or scientific work, so it is correct to speak of authorship. Our humble co-authorship is to give confidence to the individual that he is not alone against the system, as well as some technical empowerment. Who donated to us, once again, respect to each and every one.

Cotton must bloom!

FSB building on fire

Bashkiria

On March 12, near Karlaman station the electrics in the SFT1 cabinet, responsible for centralization and interlocking of communication systems, were completely burnt out.

Buryatia

On March 14 SFT was destroyed in Buryatia. We have already written about this action, but now it became known that the action took place in Smolensk at the same time.

Smolensk

On March 14, SFT on the newly built route before the entrance to Smolensk region was destroyed. The result was a serious delay of the train with fuel and lubricants.

The Revolutionary Movement Right of Power took responsibility for both actions (in Buryatia and Smolensk).

Bryansk region

Around 4 p.m. on March 14 on an oil pumping station the chief of patrol noticed a suspicious object, which turned out to be an IED with shocking elements – plastic and metal balls. The sappers disarmed it.

Rostov-on-Don

On March 16 a huge fire broke out in the building of FSB2 border guard department. The fire was preceded by the sound of an explosion. Governor Golubev claims that the cause of the incident was a short circuit in the electrical wiring inside the building: “The fire spread and caused explosions of containers with fuel and lubricants. The fire spread over an area of 800 square meters and caused the collapse of two walls.

The FSB claims that “the explosion in the garage of the FSB border guard directorate in Rostov-on-Don was caused by combustion of fuel and lubricants.

The 161.RU newspaper reported, citing a source in law enforcement agencies, that a shell exploded in the garage. According to the source, only after that the fire moved on to the fuel.

Eyewitnesses say they first heard a strong explosion, then several weaker ones and only then saw the fire.

According to TASS, citing emergency services, one person died and two others were injured. Hopefully, the victims are FSB personnel.

Saratov

On March 16, two relay cabinets on the Zorinsky – Trofimovsky-2 line were set on fire. Two local residents, 42 year old Alexey K. and 55 year old Samvel P. were detained on suspicion of arson.

An act of sabotage took place on the night of March 17 on tracks from St. Petersburg to Lomonosov in the territory of Gorelovo district. Guerillas set fire to a relay cabinet, 350 meters away from a petrol station. The burning relay cabinet was seen by an electric train driver on his way from St. Petersburg to Lomonosov. Unfortunately, the guerillas did not manage to open the cabinet, so it was burnt only on the outside and the equipment was not damaged.

Tver

It is reported that as of March 17, 3 Z-mobiles have been set on fire in the last two weeks. The cars burned to the ground.

Alfredo Cospito: Class hatred and the myth of avenging anarchy

Posted on 2023/01/19 - 2023/01/21 by darknights

We receive and disseminate:

You take away his voice, we give him back his word! A flyer not to forget the words Alfredo has always expressed and for which he is in 41 bis!

CLASS HATRED AND THE MYTH OF AVENGING ANARCHY.

Comrades, now in the FSB building in Arkhangelsk there will be an attack, for which I take responsibility. The reasons for this are clear to you. In response to the FSB repressing, building frames, and torturing people, I have decided to strike it. Most likely, I will die from the explosion because I will trigger the bomb manually. Therefore, I request you to disseminate information about the attack: who carried it out and the reasons. Well, that is it. I wish you to go firmly and uncompromisingly toward our goal. Bright is the future of anarchist communism!

Mikhail Zhlobitsky

(October 31, 2018 attack claim against the FSB in Arkhangelsk, Russia)

It is also absurd to think that the class struggle is over; we are immersed in it up to our necks but unlike yesterday, the barbarization due to technological isolation (which each of us carries with him or her) deprives us of the real per- ception of the phenomenon as a whole. This barbarization entails a return to primordial, savage (thus purer) forms of class conflict. Mediating figures such as “unions” and “parties” are skipped. In the most technologically “advanced” part of the world, the social subject that once characterized the class of the oppressed, the “proletariat,” has been replaced by an undefined and desperate class that has no self-awareness. Meanwhile, hatred, anger have accumulated saturating the air, making it unbreathable and ready to explode at the first spark of the right intensity. This is well known by the powers-that-be, who despite having less good cards in their hands than ours, play them to their best by fueling conflicts among the poor. But they are only palliatives, only barely effective. Unions and leftist parties no longer work. Their firefighting role has been replaced by weapons of mass distraction such as racism and patriotism. But how long can this last? The strategy of pitting poor against more poor is out of breath, time counted. General impoverishment due to the technological wave and resulting unemployment will defuse racism and patriotism, but only if we play our cards right. In the time it takes for us to readjust and to guarantee citizenship incomes (real and not truf faldini1 like those of the “5 stars”2) to everyone, the system will be exposed almost helplessly to our attacks. In that time, hatred will reach its peak and perhaps it will be the good time that anger in this unfortunate country will be directed toward the real perpetrators of misery: the state and the bosses.

Moreover, the popular madness over sovereignism is weakening parliamentary democracy by undermining it from the ground up. This sort of “populism” produces conflicting and irrational drives that are difficult for the very people who unleashed them to manage. Today the possibility that our action can open a breach becomes real. We must have clear ideas, conviction and tenacity to turn hatred from the field, to open the eyes of the exploited. Will and determination can turn back the clock of history, making us start again where we began to lose those two irreplaceable qualities. A century ago, we were overwhelmed by the force of an authoritarian “communism” that poisoned us with its fruits, “social democracy” and “dictatorship of the proletariat,” which with their brutality brought the “myth” of the social revolution of the “sun of the future” and anarchy as concrete prospects for total liberation to a sunset. We claimed in our “modernity” that we did not need “myths,” but in this way we killed utopia, the greatest weapon we had to subvert this world. Historically, we have focused too much on rationality, on science while neglecting the instincts of revolt, the feelings, the passions underlying the human.

Russia: Military cars on fire

Posted on 2022/04/12 by darknights
