In prison colony No. 19 near Volgograd, prisoners who called themselves mujahideen of the Islamic State took hostages. They explained their actions as “revenge” for the terrorists who attacked the Crocus City Hall near Moscow. This is already the second action by radicals in a FSIN facility this summer – in June, a similar situation occurred in a pretrial detention center in Rostov-on-Don. Gazeta.Ru learned how Islamic extremism penetrated Russian prisons from criminologist and associate professor at the Ural State Law University Danil Sergeev.
