German Kuzovkin, a resident of the Chelyabinsk oblast, worked at a car wash while also studying as a second-year student at the Ufa Machine-Building College. In June 2023, the 17-year-old student threw a Molotov cocktail at a military enlistment office in the town of Asha as an act of protest against the war. The incident caused no damage. The following day, Kuzovkin was arrested by the FSB, and in December 2023, he was sentenced by a military court to 5 years in a general-regime penal colony on charges of attempted terrorism.
