The FSB added that the videos of the crimes were supposed to be distributed on the Internet for the purpose of intimidation.

A criminal case was initiated against Krasnov under Part 1 of Art.
282.1 (“Organization of an extremist community”).
In March, the FSB reported that 60 supporters of the M.K.U., created under the control of the Kyiv special services, were detained in 23 Russian regions.
