Russia: Radical Resistance 22.12-27.12.22

Posted on 2023/01/07 by darknights

Journalists counted 72 military facilities that have been attacked by the resistance in Russia since the beginning of the war (tg channel Rospartizan), including 44 arson attacks. Military registration and enlistment offices were attacked most frequently. This figure obviously does not include attacks against conditionally civilian objects, such as local authorities, the headquarters of various parties and cars belonging to officials. Also not included are attacks on symbols of war and cars with symbols of war. It is not clear whether those cases where the authorities do not prosecute for arson, and write it off as negligence, are included.) It is also unclear whether the statistics include the actions of Ukrainian partisans on the territory of Russia and their joint actions.

Thus, it is not even possible to estimate the number of guerrilla attacks, let alone smaller acts of sabotage in the workplace. But we are not chasing statistics either. Of the trends, the following can be noted:

Guerrilla attacks are being carried out by people of all ages, from teenagers to people in their 70s and from all walks of life, from the unemployed to businessmen to scientists. Partisans include members of the anarchist movement and other forces, but many do not associate themselves with any political trend.
Many of the attacks are symbolic, they do not do much material damage to the enemy, but have value precisely as a moral gesture, a demonstration of personal choice and an appeal to others.

Here are some of the guerrilla attacks of late December:

December 22.

Arkhangelsk

Unknown assailants attacked one of the wealthiest deputies, Peter Vatutin, head of the “Just Russia” faction in the city Duma. At the intersection of Lomonosov and Serafimovich, in the center of the city, his car was shot four times, allegedly from a semi-automatic pistol. Hopefully, the next time they meet, the partisans will be better armed.

Orekhovo

Guerrillas burned a locomotive in Orekhovo near Moscow at night. Russian Railways officials reported that this was at least the fifth case of deliberate destruction of locomotives in a month, at various stations. A few hours earlier, unknown guerrillas burned a signaling unit, which led to a traffic stoppage on the Samara-Penza section. The partisans are at large.

Russia: Radical Resistance 15 – 22.11.22

Posted on 2022/11/25 by darknights

Vladivostok

On November 16, a colonel, Vadim Boiko, who worked with the mobilized, was found shot dead in his own office.

Eyewitnesses heard five shots. The first one to run into the office was the duty officer, who saw the body of the colonel with gunshot wounds to the chest. Forensics found five casings and four Makarov pistols. No suicide note was found.

Colonel Vadim Boyko was deputy head of the Pacific Higher Naval School, head of the technical support department.

Rostov-on-Don

November 17. During one night, an unknown guerrilla attacker damaged eight police cars in the Zheleznozhozhny district. All cars had their windows broken.

Novosibirsk

On 18 November in Novosibirsk anarchists destroyed an outdoor surveillance camera.

Moscow

On November 21 a warehouse of Ministry of Internal Affairs burst into flames at Moscow-Leningradskaya station. The warehouse was 10 meters away from the building of MIA. When the fire began to spread, the employees themselves fled, but there was enormous material damage: dozens of printers and scanners, 50 chairs, 20 armchairs, 10 tables and two air conditioners (and also a whole sports simulator and a bunch of gloves with masks) were burned. A criminal case has been opened.

Grozny

On November 21 a daredevil attacked a police inspector with a knife while he was performing prayers. The partisan attacked him from behind while the servant of the regime was ablution and stabbed him to Allah.

The assailant thus seized the policeman’s service weapon, but was unable to use it because he was shot dead by the killer’s colleagues. The murder of the assailant was reported by Ramzan Kadyrov himself. It is reported that the identity of the assailant has not been established, and that he most probably acted alone.

This is not the first attack on police officers in Grozny. Specifically, on December 28, 2020, two policemen were attacked by indviduals in the center of the city, armed with knives and tried to seize their weapons. As a result of the attack, one policeman died and another was wounded and hospitalized. Both attackers were killed.

On December 17, 2020. The Investigative Committee opened another criminal case over an attack on police officers in the Kurchaloysky district of Chechnya. According to preliminary data of the investigation, the attack happened around 1 a.m. on December 17 after two men in a VAZ-2114 car refused to stop on demand of policemen. During the pursuit the intruders opened fire at the policemen with an assault rifle, they were killed in return fire. Continue reading “Russia: Radical Resistance 15 – 22.11.22” →

Buryatia

The fire was noticed by a security guard and extinguished.

Revolt in the Army

Details of the shooting at the shooting range in Belgorod region on October 15 are gradually emerging. Three soldiers – a Daghestani, an Azerbaijani and an Adygean – said that “this is not our war” and tried to write a report saying that they did not want to serve any more. The target of the attack was Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Lapin, the head of the training ground, who stated that “this is a holy war,” and then made an insulting remark about the Muslim faith. An hour and a half after the verbal conflict, the servicemen went to the firing range, where the three soldiers involved in the argument took their weapons with live ammunition, asked the Muslims to move away from Lapin, and began firing. Thirteen servicemen were killed and there were wounded. The shooters were two or three citizens of Tajikistan, one of them might have been mobilized by force or tricked, he was a migrant worker and had never expressed a desire to go to war and then suddenly disappeared.
