On January 17, the Moscow District Military Court sentenced Igor Shishkin, a member of the anarchist terrorist organization, who had made a deal with the investigators, to 3.5 years in prison at an ad hoc meeting in St. Petersburg.

Shishkin, who had made a deal with the investigators, was found guilty of committing crimes enshrined by the article dealing with "Participation in a terrorist community." He was sentenced to 3.5 years in a general-security penal colony.
