19-year-old anarchist Dmitry Syutkin has begun studying languages intensively in prison. Let’s support Dmitry in his efforts!

Дмитрий Сюткин

Dima has started learning English and plans to learn the basics of German and French. In July and August, the project already sent him English and French textbooks. It is not yet clear whether these suited his needs, so the project wants to send him another batch of study materials, including a German textbook that we need to purchase for him.

Dima keeps his spirits up in detention and jokes a lot. He is a curious, outgoing person with a wide range of interests who, unfortunately, receives few letters so far.

Please write to him! Besides languages, he is interested in history, screenwriting and psychology.

At school, Dima was a member of a drama club and volunteered to help clean up parks in his home village of Sosva and take part in charity concerts for children with disabilities.

Address for letters - letters and address must be written in Russian, you may use automated online translation services.

Сюткин Дмитрий Александрович, 2006 г.

As a reminder, Dima was first detained in 2023 over a post about a fundraiser for a lawyer for someone who had set fire to a military recruitment office. The teenager was questioned and released.

Soon afterwards, Dima was contacted by an “unnamed handler” from the Siberian Battalion, who offered him “help leaving the country”. Dima initially refused but changed his mind some time later. The person he was speaking to put him in touch with another “handler”, this time from the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK), who asked the teenager to deliver Molotov cocktails to some people. FSB officers were waiting for him at the meeting point.

Dima was charged with preparing a terrorist attack, inducing others to engage in terrorist activity, justifying terrorism, participating in a terrorist organisation, and possessing and manufacturing explosives. Taken together, the charges could carry a sentence of 10 years in prison. His case is being heard behind closed doors at the Central District Military Court in Yekaterinburg. The next hearing is scheduled for 7 October.

Before his arrest, Dima lived in Serov, in the Sverdlovsk Region, and was studying logistics at college. He ran a Telegram channel called “Free Homeland”, where he promoted anarchist ideas and Ural separatism.
