Responsibility for the derailment of railcars and arson of military registration and enlistment offices in the Russian Federation, according to The Insider, is taken by underground groups opposed to the invasion of Ukraine.

Since the end of February, there have been at least 23 attacks on military registration and enlistment offices in Russia, of which 20 were arson.. According to the publication, they were not some kind of coordinated campaign.. In particular, 48-year-old artist and former rural teacher Ilya Farber was arrested for setting fire to two buildings of the military registration and enlistment office in Udmurtia at the end of May.. " Am I capable of doing this, ”he said about his act during interrogation.

It was quite difficult for the authorities to hush up the facts of arson, because the partisans themselves actively post videos about it on social networks..

The second direction of the struggle of the underground is the rail war - the authorities are trying to attribute it to technical problems, however, according to official statistics, it can be seen that the number of railway accidents has increased sharply since the beginning of the war.

After the start of a full-scale war in Ukraine, news about sabotage on the railway began to appear almost every day.. On May 1, as a result of sabotage, a bridge was destroyed in the Kursk region, intended for the movement of freight trains..

The Insider has calculated: only according to media reports, from March to June 2022, 63 freight trains derailed in Russia. This is almost one and a half times more than in the same period last year.. At the same time, the geography of wagon wrecks has shifted to the west, and some trains have crashed near military units..

On April 12, residents of the village of Titovka in the Belgorod region on the border with Ukraine woke up from an explosion.. The authorities reported that the railway track was damaged. No explanation was provided for what happened..

Already on April 21, in the same Belgorod region, at the Kreida station, a new accident occurred - a freight train derailed. And on April 27, the FSB reported on the capture of two Russians who were allegedly preparing a new sabotage in the Belgorod region. According to the FSB, the detainees “are supporters of Ukrainian Nazism” and “sent information about the military personnel” of the Russian army to the Ukrainian website “Peacemaker”. However, no names or personal details of the saboteurs were reported..

On May 1, in the Kursk region, according to the authorities, a railway bridge was blown up.. The incident was called " And at the end of May, the public “Beware, Moscow” published a message that the FSB was looking for members of a certain “Combat Organization of Anarcho-Communists” who were preparing sabotage on the railway tracks in Sergiev Posad near Moscow. According to investigators, they unscrewed eight nuts, dismantled the rail joint and partially parted the rails that led to military unit 14258 (a secret training and tactical center of the 12th main department of the Ministry of Defense, which is responsible for the country's nuclear security).

The FSB failed to find the “militant anarchists”. But The Insider succeeded. Representatives of the Combat Organization of Anarcho-Communists (BOAK) reported that they had detained trains leading to another military unit - military unit 55443 near Kirzhach (Vladimir region). The arsenal of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is located there.. “Unfortunately, the sabotage was discovered on the evening of June 25. Nevertheless, even in this form, the sabotage harmed the enemy, delaying the movement of trains with military equipment and causing economic damage due to the need to restore the railway lines, ”said representatives of the cell The Insider.

According to the anarchists themselves, their activities were largely inspired by the actions of the Belarusian partisans, who effectively resisted the Russian invasion through the territory of Belarus at the very beginning of the war..

A month before the start of the war (January 24), Supratsi activists carried out an attack on the Belarusian railways, which had been prepared for a long time: they encrypted the main part of the servers, databases and workstations of the BelZhD and destroyed the backups. The goal is to slow down and disrupt the road.
