On Thursday, Rosfinmonitoring for the first time added a teenager from 2011, Amir Shagatov from Orenburg, to the list of 'terrorists and extremists', and another 14-year-old, Timofey Lubenets, was also included. The information appeared on a Telegram channel that tracks updates from the agency. Both teenagers have 'stars' next to their surnames, which means that a criminal case has been initiated against them under a 'terrorist' article.
The details of the criminal case are unknown, however, the 'Agency'* found out that the teenagers are acquainted—they are friends on 'VKontakte'. Shagatov's father, Tulegen, told the 'Agency' that his son is under house arrest.
According to him, his son is in the seventh grade and lives with his mother, and he only sees him during holidays. 'We didn't keep an eye on him. He got involved with people, they asked him to go... I don't know exactly, that's what it says in the criminal case materials. He was the youngest there. Maybe they pressured him, maybe they asked him. Now his mother is sorting it out. We hired a lawyer,' said Tulegen Shagatov, noting that his son was detained along with acquaintances.
Around the same time as Shagatov and Lubenets, 16-year-old Vadim Tukashev from the village of Burannoye in the Sol-Iletsky district was also added to the list of 'terrorists'.
In October 2024, Rosfinmonitoring added two 14-year-old teenagers from Kirov—Timur Korchemkin and Timur Abdulina—to the list of 'terrorists and extremists'.
