Aleksey Larionov, a biker from Kostroma, is being prosecuted on charges of treason and participation in an unnamed Ukrainian "terrorist organization" for placing its symbols on city buildings and structures. Law enforcement agencies reported that he also, at the request of his "supervisor," compiled a resume for employment at a Kostroma enterprise, although the purpose for this was not specified. Before he could submit his resume, the young man was detained by FSB officers in May 2025. He was sent to a pretrial detention center and sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment no later than April 2026.
