Olexandr Kolchenko (Ukrainian Олександр Кольченко, nickname “Tundra”, born November 26, 1989) is a Ukrainian social and trade union activist, antifascist, anarchist, ecologist, archaeologist, who has been abducted and detained by the Russian authorities. Olexandr Kolchenko and three more Crimean pro-Ukrainian activists: a historian Olexiy Chyrniy, a photographer Gennadiy Afanasyev and a renowned film director Oleg Sentsov are united by a common criminal case of so-called “Crimean terrorists”. All four have been kidnapped by the Russian FSB (ex-KGB) and imprisoned in Russia following the 2014-2015 Russian Military Intervention in Ukraine〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rferl.org/content/russia-trial-ukraine-director-sentsov-resumes/27154604.html )〕 which ended in annexation of the Ukrainian peninsula by Russia. Olexandr Kolchenko with Sentsov, Afanasyev and Chyrniy has been accused of plotting terrorism. ==Persecution and arrest== Olexandr Kolchenko was detained on May 16, 2014 in Simferopol, Crimea, Ukraine. He was convicted of arson of the offices of Russian political organizations and planning the bombing of the Soviet Memorial monument in Crimea. On May 23, 2014 Olexandr was convoyed to Moscow and imprisoned in the Lefortovo prison. He has been accused of belonging to the Ukrainian ultranationalist organization “Right Sector” and of plotting terrorist attacks. In June 2015 the investigation of the Kolchenko and Sentsov criminal case was finished and the case went to trial. On July 31, 2015 the Rostov-on-Don military court started hearings on this case. Olexandr Kolchenko stood trial together with Oleg Sentsov. The accusation against Kolchenko and Sentsov is primarily based on evidence given by two others, known as “Crimean terrorists”, Chyrniy and Afanasyev, broadcast on Russian television. But in court they refused to testify. Afanasyev announced that his testimonies had been said under torture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://en.censor.net.ua/news/345991/key_prosecution_witness_against_ukrainian_filmmaker_sentsov_withdrew_his_testimony )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Olexandr Kolchenko」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
