Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] In Bashkortostan, FSB officers detained eight members of an international terrorist organization (ITO) cell who were spreading ideas about creating a global caliphate.

Yes, but which one? The article doesn’t say

This was reported on December 5 by the FSB's Public Relations Center.

According to the report, the members of the clandestine MTO cell were Russian citizens. During underground meetings, they disseminated an ideology based on the creation of a global caliphate among Muslims in the region.

In addition, a significant quantity of ITO propaganda materials banned in the Russian Federation, as well as communications equipment and electronic storage devices used by the detainees in their terrorist activities, were found and seized at their residences.

Currently, a criminal case has been opened under Parts 1 and 2 of Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Organization of the activities of a terrorist organization and participation in the activities of such an organization”).

In October, FSB officers in Crimea detained four women who were members of a terrorist organization. The investigation established that they were spreading radical ideology among Muslims and recruiting at underground meetings. Propaganda literature was also found during a search of the women's homes.
