On April 2, in the Altai Territory, a local resident, a supporter of a Ukrainian nationalist organization, was detained, who was planning to carry out "actions of intimidation" against the local population and immigrants from the Central Asian region.

Its targets were objects of mass gathering of Muslims and government bodies.

During the interrogation, the detainee told about his intention to blow up a mosque in Barnaul.

On April 1, FSB officers prevented a terrorist attack in the Tver region.

It was prepared by a native of one of the republics of the Central Asian region.

The Islamic State militant planned an attack on one of the objects of the fuel and energy complex.

The offender was eliminated because he put up armed resistance during the arrest.

On March 19, in Gelendzhik and Yaroslavl, 14 members of the Ukrainian youth radical neo-Nazi community “MKU” were detained.

In their places of residence, Nazi materials, edged weapons, and communications equipment containing instructions for the manufacture of improvised explosive devices and firearms were seized.

The creator of the community is a citizen of Ukraine Yegor Krasnov, who uses the pseudonym Yegor Yakovlev on the Internet.

From him and other members of the movement who are in Kiev and Kharkov, the detainees received instructions on how to commit terrorist attacks and massacres.

In addition, in March in Makhachkala, a criminal who was preparing an attack on law enforcement officers was liquidated.

The attacker was previously convicted of terrorist crimes.

A machine gun, a large amount of ammunition for it and a suicide belt ready for use were found at the scene of the shootout.

Another operation to prevent terrorist actions took place in the Kaliningrad region, where the security forces detained a Russian who, because of "hatred of the current government", was planning a terrorist attack at an energy facility.

In addition, the man recruited local residents to participate in terrorist activities.

Later, the FSB said that the detainee is over 40 years old, he works as a photographer, is married, and has an 18-year-old son.
