Saratov

On 11 January, a 16-year-old teenager was detained in Saratov for preparing the murder of Saratov regional Duma deputy Alexander Yanklovich. According to the investigation, the suspect was going to kill the deputy on the instructions of ‘unidentified persons’. He came with a hammer to the deputy’s house, but did not find him at home. The teenager was allegedly going to ‘continue his actions after receiving information about the man’s whereabouts’, but was detained on 11 January.

Yanklovitch is the head of the Saratov Regional Duma’s Veterans Affairs Committee, a Hero of Russia and a veteran of combat operations in the North Caucasus. He also headed the Saratov regional public organisation Saratov Association of Heroes, which accepted donations for the needs of participants in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In September 2023, Yanklovitch left to fight in Ukraine as part of the Rosgvardiya, but a year later he cancelled his contract due to age.

tg-channel No future notes that the arrested teenager may turn out to be a bonhead from the Yubileyny neighbourhood. A local left-wing football fan identified him in a photo.

The servant of the people Alexander Yanklovych, who escaped death, naturally stated that the assassination attempt was supervised by the special services of Ukraine. He himself and his family were in the temple, that’s why he was saved, the MP claims.

If the detainee shared right-wing ideas as a child and really acted on someone’s orders (which we do not know), then the target of the attack was certainly chosen worthy. The enemies of the Russian people are not representatives of other peoples or migrants, but ‘native’ Russian authorities.

We wish the guy resilience and development of critical thinking.

Moscow

A UAZ Patriot military vehicle with Ministry of Defence plates was burnt down in New Moscow on 17 January. The car was burnt in a car park in the settlement of Desyonovskoye. UAZ ‘Patriot’ with military black and white numbers was standing in the car park near the house. At some point the car caught fire. There were no people in the car,’ eyewitnesses wrote.

Kazan

At about 16.00 Moscow time on 23 January an unknown person threw a Molotov cocktail into the foyer of the main entrance of the administrative building of the Kazan Gunpowder Plant (FKP ‘KGKPZ’) at 14 May 1 Street in Kazan, Tatarstan. This started a fire, which was extinguished by employees of the plant. The Interior Ministry said it had not found or identified the arsonist. The CCTV cameras show a lad of about fifteen years old with his face covered.

It is known that between 2023 and 2024 the plant has increased capacity to produce explosives for Russia’s military-industrial complex.

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.

St. Petersburg

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.

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.
