On July 24, 2024, the Zamoskvoretsky Court of Moscow arrested in absentia Yevgeny Serebryakov, an internationally wanted man suspected of committing a terrorist act in Moscow, as a result of which a Russian serviceman and his wife were injured.

Serebryakov is charged with attempted murder, including in a generally dangerous manner (paragraphs "a, e, w, z" of Part 2 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code), and illegal trafficking in explosives (part 4 of Article 221.1 of the Criminal Code). 

Earlier in the day, Serebryakov was detained in Bodrum, Turkey, by local police from the anti-terrorism unit at the request of the Russian Interpol office. The arrest in absentia gives grounds for requesting Serebryakov's extradition from Turkey. The person involved in the case faces life imprisonment.

Yevgeny Serebryakov's crime was recorded in detail by video cameras at the scene. At 2:28 a.m. on July 24, 2024, he attached a bomb to the bottom of the officer's car, filmed the scene for the curators, placed a miniature camera to record the moment of the explosion, and left the scene. 

The suspect acted so brazenly because he already had an air ticket in his pocket. Immediately after the installation of the explosive device, he flew to Turkey.

The explosion occurred at 6:29 a.m., when serviceman Andrei Torgashov started the car engine. His wife was sitting next to him. As a result, the military received severe injuries, and his wife received minor ones. The officer gave himself first aid, his wife called an ambulance. 

The identity of the terrorist was immediately established, and the head of the FSB, Alexander Bortnikov, officially announced that he was in Turkey. Undoubtedly, by this time Bortnikov had already been informed that the criminal was in the hands of Turkish law enforcement officers.

Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said that Serebryakov, suspected of blowing up a car in Moscow, was detained by the police of Mugla province in Bodrum. His plane arrived at the airport of this city at 09:40, and an hour later the Turkish authorities received information from the Russian Interpol office about the search for Serebryakov.

As reported by the Turkish TV channel TRT Haber, Serebryakov flew to Bodrum under the guise of a tourist and rented a car at the airport. As soon as the Turkish police received an orientation on the suspect, they established his location using cameras at the airport and began tracking his movements step by step.  After his capture, he was sent to the Bodrum hospital for examination, and then taken to the anti-terrorist police department with enhanced security measures, Yerlikaya said. 

According to TRT Haber, the man planned to move from Bodrum to Greece by sea.

Usually, the procedure for deporting a detained criminal takes from 30 to 40 days, but in this case everything happened incomparably faster, and on July 26, 2024, Serebryakov was in Russia and answered the investigator's questions.

At the very first interrogation, he showed that he quite consciously and voluntarily cooperated with the special services of Ukraine, contacted them via the Internet and offered to kill an officer of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation himself, because he wanted to serve in the intelligence service of Ukraine.

"In February 2023, I took the initiative to become the administrator of the public in order to cooperate with the special services of Ukraine," Serebryakov said during interrogation. He was appointed a curator "Ilya", representing the SBU.

"We talked with him, there was one meeting in Istanbul. After that, I took the components for assembling an improvised explosive device, and I offered to eliminate the officer," Serebryakov said. He said that "under control and with instructions, he assembled an explosive device, put it under the car."

"Ilya promised me Ukrainian citizenship and a reward of 10 to 20 thousand dollars," the terrorist said, but he was not only and not so much interested in money.

More recently, Serebryakov had a well-paid job and even helped his family with funds. He graduated brilliantly from the Higher School of Economics, worked in the banking sector and earned very well even by metropolitan standards.

Serebryakov was born in May 1995 in Uryupinsk, Volgograd region. 12 years ago, the family moved to Moscow. He grew up in a full—fledged family, both parents are teachers of history and social studies. 

In his youth, he was the star of the school and the pride of his parents, won Olympiads in history, local history, social studies and economics. After school, he entered the Higher School of Economics and graduated from it in 2016. In the 3rd year of student exchange, he went to study in the Czech Republic.

In all likelihood, Eugene's puberty period was seriously delayed. He posted his "confession" on the social network, in which he described his problems. He didn't have a relationship with the opposite sex. For a while he had an "affair" with a prostitute. Then a prolonged, but absolutely platonic infatuation. There were two suicide attempts and psychiatric treatment, which, apparently, did not help much.

Neighbors refer to him as a "quiet young man who lived with cats." Serebryakov has not worked anywhere in recent months. According to the neighbors, the mother often came to clean up the apartment and wash things. Shortly before the crime, Serebryakov informed his family that he had found a job in Tashkent and would soon move there. 

Youthful complexes, mental instability and failures in his personal life pushed him to protest activities. Since 2011, during the so-called "Bolotnaya Revolution" Serebryakov actively participated in anti-Russian protests, became a supporter of the extremist Navalny. Since 2014, he declared himself a supporter of Euromaidan and the Bandera junta, and began to position himself as a Ukrainian. He began to call himself "Eugen" in the Ukrainian manner. 

To become quite a Bandera, he accepted Uniatism and was even a minister of the Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Malaya Gruzinskaya. 

Religious and national renegade behavior, mental instability, sexual inadequacy, communication problems and the desire to blame other people and the whole society for their failures have formed a terrorist in him. 

Serebryakov's example once again shows that the support of the now deceased extremist Navalny turns people into potential traitors, enemies of their country, spies and terrorists.
