Aleksandr Snezhkov

An anarchist, he administered Telegram channels dedicated to protests against the war in Ukraine, guerrilla actions, leftist ideology, animal protection, and problems in Zabaykalsky Krai. Snezhkov has previously signed a recognisance not to abscond. In January 2023, he was detained in Omsk, after which he was taken into custody. On 25 April 2024, he was sentenced to six years in a penal colony. On 25 November 2024, the Court of Appeal reduced the sentence by two months.

In July 2025, Snezhkov reported that a new criminal case had been opened against him. According to him, in January of the same year, when he was in a pre-trial detention centre #1 in Chita, a prisoner cooperating with the administration was placed in his cell and began to ask Snezhkov why he was in jail. Aleksandr told about his case - this conversation was recorded on a dictaphone. Based on this recording, the Federal Security Service initiated a criminal case on the justification of terrorism. On 22 October 2025, Snezhkov was sentenced, taking into account his previous sentence, to five years in a strict regime colony.
