Maxim Ivanov

According to the investigation, Maxim Ivanov was a member of the organised group "Autonomous Combat Terrorist Organisation (ABTO) syndicate", which operated in 2009-2010 and whose plans included systematic bombings and arson attacks to influence the migration policy of the Russian Federation. On the night of 20 December 2009, on the eve of "Security Worker's Day", a group of young men (Astashin, Povazhnaya, Markhai, Lebedev and Ivanov) threw Molotov cocktails at the building of the FSB Department for the South-West District of Moscow. As a result of these actions there were no casualties, the damage to the premises amounted to 11 thousand rubles. [The video of the action](https://youtu.be/V1_nlHpfFts?si=ccmTkiQC1nSy28CY) was posted by Astashin on the Internet under the title "Happy Chekist's Day, bastards!". Participants positioned the arson as a "non-violent direct action against the FSB", an act of political protest. 20-year-old Maxim Ivanov threw a Molotov cocktail through the window of the department. 12 April 2012, Moscow City Court sentenced him to 10 years in a strict regime penal colony. 23 July 2012, The Supreme Court reduced this sentence to 8 years of strict regime. At the end of 2017, Ivanov was sentenced to 8 years of administrative supervision, under the terms of which he cannot leave his district of residence without notifying the supervisory authorities.
