In December 2013 Romanov was charged by Article 205 through Article 30 of the Criminal Code of Russian Federation ("attempt a terrorist attack"). There is no reason for terrorism charges because there is no corpus delicti. Article 205 implies committing acts "frightening people and endanger the lives of the person causing significant property damage or other serious consequences in order to influence decision-making authorities or international organizations". It is obvious that in this situation there could be no intimidation, no danger of death or significant property damage as a firecracker was too underpowered, and Ilya hurt just because the blast was occurred in his hands. | In December 2013 Romanov was charged by Article 205 through Article 30 of the Criminal Code of Russian Federation ("attempt a terrorist attack").
