[KavkazUzel] A court in Rostov-on-Don found Anatoly Ermolaev guilty of planning an explosion in the Stavropol region and sentenced him to 11 years in prison.

The "Caucasian Knot" wrote that on April 25, 2022, the FSB published a video in which security forces detained a suspect in preparing a terrorist attack at a bus station in Stavropol. In the video, the detainee admits that he joined the ranks of the Islamic State* and was planning a terrorist attack.

The intelligence services are motivated to spread falsified reports about the detention of alleged terrorists in the Stavropol region to improve reporting and for propaganda purposes, journalist Elena Suslova and human rights activist Arsen Sarkisov suggested, commenting then on two reports from security forces within one month about the detention of alleged terrorists. Valery Ledovskoy, coordinator of the Center for Civil Initiatives of the North Caucasus Federal District, called a warning about the consequences of participation in radical organizations as a likely goal of such propaganda.

The Southern District Military Court sentenced Anatoly Ermolaev in the case of preparing a terrorist attack, the press service of the FSB Directorate for Stavropol reported today. “Ermolaev, having voluntarily become a supporter of the international terrorist organization Islamic State, banned in Russia, planned to carry out a terrorist attack by blowing up one of the transport infrastructure facilities of the Stavropol Territory,” Interfax quoted the agency’s report today.

The department's statement indicates that Ermolaev was detained in April 2022 while attempting to commit a crime. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison, with the first three years to be served in prison, and the remainder in a maximum security penal colony, with a fine of 200.000 rubles.

As follows from the case file on the website of the Southern District Military Court, Ermolaev’s case came to court in April, 14 court hearings were held, and the verdict was announced today.
