Yury Mikheev, aged 18, was arrested together with Matvei Mel'nikov on November 10 on the territory of military section in the Moscow region. The FSB accused the young men of preparing arson on military equipment, including a 40V6 universal mobile mast, which is a component of the S-300 surface-to-air missile system.
Yury Mikheev was charged with preparing an act of sabotage, and was sent to a pre-trial detention centre. The young man is threatened with a custodial sentence of up to 10 years.
Yury Mikheev is an antifascist, who does not support Russian aggression against Ukraine. Yura became friends with Matvei Mel'nikov, who, like him, came out against the war. We still don't know the full details of the case, but it seems very likely that this was a provocation by the special services, who corresponded with Mel'nikov, pretending to be partisans.
Yury's friend says: "He's just a great guy: he always supports and helps everyone. He's the kind of person who will never let anyone down, whatever happens. He's such a brilliant, interesting and friendly person. I sometimes don't even know how all these qualities can be combined in one person. And I'm proud that he's my friend".
Now Yury needs help himself: legal defence from a reliable lawyer. Why it is important, we told here.
The group supporting Yury Mikheev are fundraising €4250. This is the amount that will be needed to pay for the lawyer's work for six months.
