Charges

Full wording of the charges

According to the investigation, Lebedev 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 roubles. The video of the actio (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. 16-year-old Grigory Lebedev smashed the window of the building with a hammer. 12.04.2012 Moscow City Court sentenced Lebedev to 6 years of general regime colony. 23.07.2012 The Supreme Court reduced this sentence to 4 years.
