Analysts argue about the background of FSB reports on preventing terrorist attacks in Stavropol

Regular FSB reports on preventing terrorist attacks in Stavropol are due to the activity of terrorist supporters and preventive measures by security forces, said Vasily Balditsyn and Aleksey Gunya. The special services are also persecuting activists and critics of security forces in the North Caucasus, objected Amir Kolov.

"Caucasian Knot" also wrote about a series of criminal cases opened in 2025 against teenagers in other regions of southern Russia. Thus, on June 30, a 17-year-old student of a Volgograd college was taken into custody on suspicion of creating an extremist community. Three 17-year-old teenagers, whom investigators believe to be his comrades, were placed under house arrest. Two more alleged members of the group - 15-year-old schoolchildren - escaped criminal prosecution due to their age.

In June, a court in Stavropol placed a 17-year-old resident of Mikhaylovsk, suspected of organizing terrorist activity, under arrest. The teenager is accused of publishing on a social network "propaganda of a banned ideology" and faces 15 to 20 years in prison.

On June 5, security forces in Stavropol reported the arrest of 15- to 17-year-old teenagers whom investigators believe to be members of an extremist group. Seven of them were taken into custody, and another teenager was placed under house arrest. According to investigators, the teenagers painted "graphic images with Nazi symbols and symbols of an extremist group" on fences and buildings, and were planning violent crimes.

On May 19, nine people were taken into custody in Stavropol Krai, including eight teenagers suspected of preparing attacks on police officers. Some of those detained told security forces that they swore an oath to a terrorist organization without understanding the meaning of what they said.
