Write a letter to Ruslan at his new address — our comrade should know he’s not facing the system alone, especially ahead of a trial that could result in a life sentence.

    I recommend reading his text besides the news article.

    He writes well and his description of what got him caught is very informative to anyone who might end up doing sabotage.

    (Notes: he traveled to Latvia instead of doing everything locally, some of his drones failed to take off (possibly due to a curious fox pushing them over) and had no self-destruct timers, he only slightly changed the location of the railway bomb after encountering suspicious dacha owners, he was psychologically affected by the death of his grandmother and less cautious, and on his return trip from the railway, he stumbled before a camera.)

    What he describes about FSB’s methods of torture might convince some other partisan to carry a gun or grenade.

    In the pessimistic scenario, nothing short of Putin’s regime ending will get him out, I hope it ends sooner. In the matters where I can, I try to help other people end it sooner.

    In the optimistic scenario, he will be exchanged with some Russian agent who got caught in Ukraine since he consulted with Ukranians to get some information and skills.

    I cannot write him. They don’t need my name on their records. Peaceful people from more distant countries are better suited to write him.
