‘You could call me a partisan.’ Ruslan Siddiqi recounts his anti-war actions
avtonom.org
A Russian and Italian citizen, an electrician from [the Russian city of] Ryazan, an industrial tourist, a bike traveller, an anarchist and a partisan – all this can be said about 36-year-old Ruslan Siddiqi. In the summer of 2023, he dispatched four drones with explosives to attack the Diaghilev military airfield near Ryazan, and in the autumn, he decided to act “from the ground” – damaging railway lines with two bombs and derailing 19 freight train wagons. Siddiqi is currently awaiting trial in a Moscow pre-trial detention centre, with the prospect of a life sentence hanging over him.

    It is good to hear that Ruslan is alive and able to give an interview.

    It is sad to know that he likely won’t be out before the regime falls.

    He did more than one person can be expected to do.
