Resident of Transbaikalia sentenced to 24 years in prison for treason

A resident of the Trans-Baikal Territory Ekaterina Malovechkina was sentenced to 24 years in prison for sabotage on the railway. This was reported in the press service of the 2nd Eastern District Military Court.

According to the investigation and the court, the undermining of the railway track occurred in August 2025 at Arteushka station in the Mogochinsky district during the passage of passenger train No. 10, en route from Moscow to Vladivostok.

As a result of the explosion, one wheel pair came off the locomotive. There were no casualties. It was only half past midnight that the train arrived almost four hours late.

According to the court, Malovechkina began to cooperate with the Ukrainian terrorist organization banned in Russia from the beginning of 2025. The court found that for several months the woman distributed anti-government leaflets in Krasnokamensk, after which she was instructed to commit sabotage. For this, she has received appropriate training.

As follows from the materials of the case, the defendant acted on the instructions of his curator. Having received cryptocurrency from him, she acquired everything necessary to create two bombs. After that, the attacker conducted reconnaissance of the area, choosing a suitable section of the railway, where she planned to commit sabotage.

On August 24, 2025, Malovechkina blew up a section of the Trans-Baikal Railway. The explosive device was laid between the sleepers and detonated while the train was moving.

The woman was found guilty of treason, participation in the activities of a terrorist organization, sabotage and illegal trafficking in explosive devices. She fully admitted her guilt. Mavechkina was given 24 years in prison.
