According to her, the curators of the Russian special services find active people who comment on certain events and start a correspondence with them. She says that the tasks do not always start with setting cars on fire - they start with easy tasks.
"In 90% of cases, arsonists do it because of material rewards. They offer between $700-3000 for the crime, but usually the perpetrators do not receive any money," she added.
