Full wording of the charges
According to the investigation, he corresponded in a messenger app with a "client" who promised him 100,000 rubles "in case of the complete destruction of the building" of the military enlistment office for the Leninsky and Frunzensky districts and for providing a video recording of the arson. The investigation stated that the goal of the arson was to "destabilize the activities" of the military enlistment office and to "influence" the authorities to make a decision to stop the war in Ukraine. An attempt was made to set fire to the military enlistment office, which is housed in a wooden building considered an architectural monument, on the night of June 8.
