The Southern District Military Court convicted a Krasnodar resident, sentencing him to six years in prison for attempting to ignite the city’s military registration office. This result was reported by the court’s Telegram channel.
The court’s decision identified the defendant as Oleg Igorevich Vazhdaev, who faced charges under Part 3 of Article 30, Chapter 1, Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, describing the act as a terrorist offense as stated in the court report.

The sentence imposed was six years in a strict regime penal colony, with the initial two years to be served in prison.
