Siberian Teens Convicted To Prison For Trying To Blow Up Minecraft Version Of FSB Building It's a bit gruesome to be sentenced for playing a videogame, but it's possible if you're Russian-born. Mega Blog Nikita Uvarov, who is 16 years old, was recently found guilty of "training for terrorist activities" by a Russian military court, following the teen planned to destroy an online version of the FSB, the country's domestic intelligence agency...while playing Minecraft. He has now been sentenced to five years in prison. According to the Moscow Times, Uvarov as well as his companions, Bogdan Andreyev, and Denis Mikhailenko were arrested in 2020 for a variety of activities that the government concluded were part of a dangerous plot. In addition to preparing to blow up an FSB-like version FSB the trio also distributed fliers to show their support for Azat Miftakhov, a Russian anarchist who was charged with vandalism in 2019. Authorities say they also played around with homemade explosive devices, and used them on abandoned buildings. Mega Blog All of this led to the boys being found guilty of "undergoing training with the intention of carrying out terrorist activities" and were sentenced to prison. Andreyev, Mikhailenko and Mikhailenko both pleaded guilty to the charges and were sentenced with a suspended sentence. Uvarov, meanwhile, maintained his innocence and was later sent off to prison. It is not clear if the government claims that the game was used to teach terrorists. Minecraft is a hugely popular video game, is known for allowing players to construct their own customized structures. The Russian government has made it clear that it believes the kids were not just playing around and were actually planning something sinister. Mega Blog
