Samara resident Andrey Zhvakin, who died in the spring during detention, was added to the Rosfinmonitoring's register of 'extremists and terrorists'

In March, the FSB reported on preventing a terrorist attack in the Samara region, stating that it was planned 'under the patronage of Ukrainian special services' by a supporter of the 'Russian Volunteer Corps'. Allegedly, he planned to detonate a bomb at a humanitarian aid reception point. During the detention, the man detonated an improvised explosive device and died.

The Telegram channel Baza revealed the name of the deceased — it was 30-year-old activist Andrey Zhvakin, who held pickets in support of political prisoners and took an anti-war stance. In 2022, he was detained in Moscow near the court where a session was held on the case of politician Ilya Yashin, later the court found him guilty of 'discrediting' the Russian army and imposed a fine of 30,000 rubles.

As SOTA** wrote, an RDK representative stated that Andrey Zhvakin was not related to the Corps and noted that 'all possible terrorist attacks will be blamed on the RDK to justify the war against Ukraine'.

Previously, there were no known examples of posthumous inclusion in the register of 'extremists and terrorists'. Meanwhile, Alexey Navalny, who was killed in February 2024 in a maximum-security colony in the polar settlement of Harp, is still on the register. The department reported that they had not received official documents about his death from the FSIN.
