On August 23, a group of prisoners who took prisoner staff at IK-19 (Surovikino in the Volgograd region) hostage demanded a helicopter and $2 million, but were eliminated by the Russian National Guard.

As NBN reports with reference to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the mutiny that broke out in the Volgograd colony, judging by everything, will negatively affect the internal security of the Russian Federation.
According to ISW analysts, the above-described incidents have a negative impact on the Kremlin's efforts to combat “everyday extremism.” In particular, this problem has become more acute since the start of a full-scale war against Ukraine against the backdrop of intensive mobilization of prisoners to replenish the ranks of Putin's army. At the same time, military experts point to the increased radicalization of prisoners, which is provoked by the increased influx of previously convicted migrants from Central Asian countries to the Russian Federation.
It should be recalled that this emergency is not the first such riot: in June of this year, in a Rostov-on-Don pretrial detention center, six prisoners associated with the terrorist group ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) also took two employees of the penitentiary institution hostage.
The Institute for the Study of War notes that such crisis situations with the taking of hostages in prisons/colonies noticeably exhaust the attempts of the Russian elite in demonstrating the effectiveness of the fight against domestic extremism, especially after the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall.
