Resident of Rostov Region sentenced for setting fire to military commissariat

The Morozovsk District Court has treated the attempt to set fire to the military commissariat (registration and enlistment office) as hooliganism and sentenced Ivan Svistov to one year and eight months in penal colony.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on November 7, 2023, sources reported that a 50-year-old resident of the Rostov Region made an unsuccessful attempt to set fire to the Morozovsk military commissariat and was detained at the venue. On July 25, 2024, the court arrested him for six months.

Now, the above court has found Svistov guilty of attempted intentional damage to one's property and hooliganism, the press service of the Morozovsk District Court has reported.

According to the court, on November 6, 2023, Svistov "entered into a criminal conspiracy with an unknown person and made three bottles with an incendiary mixture, after which he threw them at the wall of the military commissariat in Morozovsk." Bottles with a flammable mixture bounced off the wall, two of them broke and caught fire, which was quickly extinguished.

Let us remind you that since the start of the special military operation (SMO) in Ukraine, administrative buildings, including military commissariats, have been repeatedly set on fire in the Rostov Region in protest against the SMO. In particular, on July 11, 2024, it became known that in the town of Semikarakorsk law enforcers had detained a student who, according to investigators, was heading to a humanitarian aid collection point aiming to set it on fire.

On September 30, 2022, Vladimir Tsimliansky, the spokesman of the General Staff, stated that arson attacks on military commissariats would be classified as terror acts.
