• After the start of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, military enlistment offices, police departments, city administration buildings, and “United Russia” receptions began to be set on fire all over Russia. After the announcement of mobilization, the number of such attacks increased many times. At the moment, it is known about almost a hundred requests for arson.
• As a result of the fires, no one was killed or injured. At first, cases were considered under the criminal articles of damage to someone else’s property and hooliganism. Later, the General Staff of Russia announced that cases of arson of military enlistment centers would be considered acts of terrorism and would be punishable by up to 15 years in prison. The first sentence, in which the arson of the military enlistment office was qualified as a terrorist act, was handed down at the end of January 2023.
