5.5 years in prison for planning to set fire to a military recruitment office

18-year-old Bogdan Davidenko received five and a half years in a general-regime penal colony in a case concerning the preparation of an arson attack on a military recruitment office in Vladivostok. Davidenko was arrested in September 2023, when he was still a minor. In court, Davidenko stated that he intended to set fire to the Primorsky Krai military recruitment office as a protest against the invasion of Ukraine. In his preparations, the teenager visited the recruitment office but mistakenly went to the wrong address and took a photo of a neighboring building. Davidenko insisted in court that he had not undergone any terrorist training.
