An active participant in the Ukrainian radical organization Right Sector * * was detained in the Moscow region during a joint operation conducted by employees of the Ministry of the Interior and the Federal Security Service of Russia. It is reported by the regional department of the FSB.
“The bodies of the Federal Security Service of Russia, together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, as a result of operational and investigative measures taken on April 9 in the Moscow region, detained a citizen of Ukraine Pirozhok I.N. - an active member of the Ukrainian right-wing radical organization "Right Sector", - said in a press release department.
According to Russian intelligence, five years ago, in 2014, a man joined the ranks of an extremist organization under the pseudonym Roman Chirka. Being in the "Right Sector", he created a detachment of "Horthy" ("Hounds"), which was joined by Ukrainian supporters of nationalist ideas. The main task of the detachment was “to conduct a partisan war against Russia”.
In January 2018, Igor Pirozhok (Chirka) arrived in the Moscow region, where he lived at various conspiratorial addresses and spread the ideological and agitation and propaganda materials of the Right Sector, trying to involve the citizens of the Russian Federation in the organization’s activities.
During the searches in the places of residence and work of the man, the security forces seized literature, symbolism, campaign documents, including in electronic form, and other material evidence indicating his involvement in extremist activities.
Employees of the investigation department of the FSB opened a criminal case under Part 1.1 of Art. 282.2 and Part 2 of Art. 282.2 of the Criminal Code of Russia (“Organization and participation in the activities of an extremist organization”). A patty can face up to 12 years in prison.
"At present, the suspect has been chosen as a preventive measure in the form of detention," the FSB press service said.

We add that in May 2015, Igor Pirozhka (Roman Chirka) was detained in the Zhytomyr region of Ukraine by officers of the SBU. Then the man tried to organize the illegal sale of weapons and ammunition from the combat zone in the Donbass.
“A detained neo-Nazi was previously convicted twice on the territory of the Russian Federation: for trying to blow up the Olimpiysky sports complex during a Jewish festival and for drug possession. One day he received a sentence in Ukraine for the manufacture, sale and distribution of pornographic products with the participation of underage boys, ”the press service of the SBU said.
According to the Ukrainian media, at that moment the man was a political adviser to the “Right Sector” in the city of Berdichev and took an active part in the formation of a public council under the Zhytomyr Regional State Administration.
Cases against the "Right Sector"
In September 2018, the Investigation Committee of Russia, in absentia, arrested and announced the international search for the brothers Ruslan and Marlen Misiratov, who were involved in the activities of the extremist organization Right Sector. They also took part in the blockade of supplies of food, raw materials and other goods to the Crimea.
“In 2015–2017, the Misiratova brothers, taking the posts of commanders of combat structural subdivisions of the Right Sector voluntary Ukrainian corps, took an active part in hostilities against the civilian population of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics,” the SC said.
Along with this, Russian investigators opened a criminal case against law enforcement officials of Ukraine for “bringing the obviously innocent person to criminal responsibility.” We are talking about the criminal prosecution in Ukraine of the Russian investigator working with the case of the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, the former leader of the nationalist group "Right Sector" Dmitry Yarosh and former Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
In addition, in December 2018, the Nagatinsky District Court of Moscow was found guilty and sentenced to three years and six months in prison Denis Bakholdin, who took part in hostilities as part of the Right Sector against the Donbas militia.
* “The Right Sector” is a Ukrainian association of radical nationalist organizations, recognized as extremist and banned in Russia (decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated 11/17/2014).
