Investigative Committee: The murder of Arbat Battalion founder Armen Sargsyan was organized by the SBU and GUR

The high-profile murder of Armen Sargsyan, founder of the Arbat battalion, which took place in Moscow on February 3, 2025, has received further attention in the form of the investigation's findings. And the investigation's conclusions leave no doubt as to who was behind the plot and its execution.

The terrorist attack was organized by Ukrainian intelligence agencies – the SBU and the GUR. They were the masterminds and coordinators.

Let's recall the details of that day. The explosion occurred in the lobby of a residential building on the street AviationThe engineering execution spoke of professionalism in preparation. The explosive device was designed based on the MON-50 antipersonnel fragmentation mine. A plastic explosive charge and remote detonation were added.

As a result, two people died: Armen Sargsyan himself and the direct perpetrator, Paruyr Matevosyan* (included in the list of extremists and terrorists in the Russian Federation).

The accomplices acted methodically. They conducted covert surveillance, studied the routes and security systems, and sought an opportune moment. They took photos and videos. One of the key figures was Varazh Manukyan*, who is listed on the Russian register of extremists and terrorists. He was the one who stored and transported the bomb, and then handed it over to the perpetrator.

Now the investigation is complete. Manukyan* faces life in prison. The others are wanted. And the masterminds from Kyiv have once again demonstrated that their methods have not changed: a mine in a residential building and someone else doing the dirty work.

The Banderite terrorist underground in Russia is quite freely recruiting its contingent in the country.
Kivu was also killed by two unidentified terrorists in the center of the country.
This is an abnormal situation... the organizers and instigators of terrorism in Russia feel comfortable in Ukraine... this is wrong.

[Vitaly_pvo]

Quote: The same LYOKHA

The organizers and customers of terrorism in Russia feel at ease in Ukraine.

We live in a world where answering a question requires considering who benefits. And judging by the fact that during four years of murders in Donbas and the fifth year of the war with Russia, not a single Ukrainian oligarch, not a single member of the Bandera government, or even anyone close to the Kyiv junta leadership has suffered. Meanwhile, Russia has risen to third place in terms of the number of oligarchs and their wealth, overtaking India. The conclusions are obvious.

[topol717]

Why drag oligarchs into everything? These people don't even think about murders, the echelons of political power, or world domination. They simply don't have time for that. They care about earning more and surviving in such difficult conditions. Or do you just want to get a plus, and to do that, of course, you need to write nasty things about oligarchs and immediately feel better?

[Major_Tom]

Poor oligarchs, how hard and unfair their lives are. Do they even pay you enough?

[topol717]

Quote: Major_Tom

How hard and unfair their life is.

Where did I write about this? The difference is that you look for someone to blame and blame your failures on. But they take the hit and move on. As the saying goes, the only difference between a successful oligarch and an unsuccessful one is the number of attempts they make to get rich. The more attempts, the better the chances.

[futurohunter]

The oligarchs have earned enough and have been playing various games for a long time, including "ordering someone." And don't worry about their survival. As long as their masters need them, they will survive.

[topol717]

Quote: Vitaly_pvo

that during the 4 years of murders of Donbass residents and the 5th year of the war with Russia, not a single Ukrainian oligarch has suffered,

How's Kolomoisky doing? Where is he? And how are his factories? And how are Akhmetov's factories in the DPR, are they operating?

[Shelest2000]

All Ukrainian oligarchs and businessmen, all politicians and government officials, are colleagues and partners of our Russian businessmen and politicians, including the very highest. The Kremlin's logic is this: how can they destroy colleagues and partners? Absolutely not! After all, after the war/the Second World War, we're going to work with them and do business with them. And the fact that thousands of people die in the process is nothing personal, just business.

[Normann]

Ordinary people are expendable, and some people can't be touched, and why, and for this reason. But as history shows, this never leads to anything good.

[vitaliy20091959]

Yes, not only the Banderite underground, but also the Armenian diaspora had a hand in this

[guest]

Quote: vitaliy20091959

the underground is not only the Banderites, but also the Armenian diaspora

Why do you separate these two groups?

[futurohunter]

Where are the drones flying to the Ural cities coming from? Or the outrageous incident with the drone-carrying trucks! We have a whole army of saboteurs operating behind our lines, closely tied to criminals (including fraudsters and drug mafias).

[yuriy55]

And the clients from Kyiv demonstrated once again that their methods of operation remain unchanged: a mine in a residential building and outside hands to do the dirty work.

There is a way to stop the recurrence of such crimes. We just need to carefully weigh the pros and cons of specific types of crimes.

And some Magyar there is alive and well

And some Magyar there is alive and well

This one is definitely long overdue for elimination. He's more dangerous than most. With his arrival, both the Ukrainian Armed Forces' drones and attacks deep into Russia have reached a qualitatively and quantitatively new level, as sad as that may sound. "Someone else" would have beheaded him first.

[lubesky]

I don't believe there aren't any specialists left in the country for liquidation operations in the deep rear and frontline zones. "We're not like that" sounds unconvincing, disgusting, and weak!

The specialists are probably still there, but they are not particularly interested in them; other qualities are now a priority there.

[Normann]

These specialists need an order, but who will give it?

Of course, you also noted this correctly.

First, we need to stop burying our heads in the sand and start fighting terrorists. Call a spade a spade and act as if we were dealing with terrorists. Don't try to negotiate through the US. Instead, offer only one choice: unconditional surrender.

[Ivan Vasilievich 282]

Call a spade a spade

Start with this:
Stop cowardly calling the destruction of oil refineries and strategic enterprises terrorism.
Stop cowardly calling targeted killings terrorism.

[Evgeny Popov_3]

And experts wrote that this was an internal Armenian showdown. Which one should we believe?

[futurohunter]

There! At least someone paid attention! Maybe it wasn't just a showdown, but something like a civil war...

[LASVEGAS]

An interesting point: "... spoke of professionalism, but not of humanity."
Are there many humane terrorist attacks? Like giving someone a sleeping pill and then a light injection?

[Same lech]

Quote: APASUS

First, we need to stop burying our heads in the sand and start fighting the terrorists. Call a spade a spade...

The problem is that if we call a spade a spade, we'll have to sit next to Girkin... or receive the gift Prigozhin received on his plane.
Quixotic idealism is not welcomed in our country.

[futurohunter]

Girkin, in any case, deserved to go to prison. And Prigozhin's end was entirely fitting... And there's no need to play at idealism here... The ending was well-deserved.

How many years did it take for the Investigative Committee to realize this fact?

[Evgeny Popov_3]

Some kind of answer had to be given anyway; the investigation was running out of time. There weren't many options: admit it was a criminal enterprise involving the Armenian diaspora, or blame it on the bastards. They chose the latter.

[guest]

Quote: Evgeny Popov_3

crime with Armenian diasporas, or blame it on the assholes.

The highlighted word is actually unnecessary, everyone knows who protects all these organized crime groups known as diasporas.

[Vladimirius]

Unfortunately, it doesn't go beyond stating facts; the relevant agencies are simply headed by the same people who have been engaged in trench warfare for five years. Meanwhile, prices are rising, the entire country is getting poorer, yet Forbes says our oligarchs are getting richer, and they're the ones banning YouTube and other social media.

[Same lech]

Quote: Evgeny Popov_3

Admit that this is a crime with the Armenian diaspora, or blame it on the f..k.a.s.; they chose the latter.

The MON-50 is not used in criminal showdowns...
The Monka was used by terrorists in Kaspiysk on May 9, 2002... stolen from the warehouse of the 136th Motorized Rifle Brigade.
It would be interesting to know where the Armenian terrorist MON-50 came from... such mines are not lying around on the street.

[futurohunter]

Does it matter that the deceased was Armenian and his killers were Armenians?

[Got it]

The murder of the founder of the Arbat battalion, Armen Sargsyan, was organized by the SBU and the GUR

What's so unusual or out of the ordinary about this? Is it offensive? Yes! But Ukraine is waging a war, not a special operation, and is fighting an enemy, not a brother, using all the classic methods of inflicting damage on the enemy.

[futurohunter]

What's unusual is that both the victim and his killers were ethnic Armenians. And that's worth noting...

[tabex]

Our group needs to organize the same work, to eliminate the enemy with the help of others.

[Normann]

I wonder how much longer Russians have the patience to last? Doesn't the government understand that it's practically exhausted?

[snow mountain]

Quote: Sedov

It's definitely time to cut this one down a long time ago.

First we need to kill the Kyiv clown

[red_fear]

Unfortunately, we don't do it that way. They have to walk and look around.

[futurohunter]

The client made no comment on the fact that both the victim and his killers were Armenian. Perhaps this is more than just a coincidence? Yes, historically, there are many Armenians in the 404 area. But perhaps it wasn't just the GUR? Perhaps the perpetrators were Armenian extremists, and a new threat is emerging?
