You have to suspend because of the Euromaidan – Oleg could not be aloof from the events that took place in Ukraine. During the Crimean crisis he often visits his native Simferopol where he tried to organize a campaign “For a United country.” And delivers products of the Ukrainian military units, which had been blocked by the invaders.
This activity Sentsov don’t like the occupation authorities of the Crimea. The FSB may 11, 2014 Oleg detained on suspicion of terrorism. Since the beginning of a long and exhausting legal battle – the struggle for the liberation Sentsov from behind bars.
Eugene Chernikov, Oleg’s friend, said that Russian law enforcement agencies have developed an absurd situation.
“The first investigative actions at all had been written that they were going to blow up the railway in Yalta. Simferopol – this is the ultimate branch of the railway. In Yalta has no railway. There’s even a tram there,” he said.

Now, the woman says, when a brother in the Yakut colony, fellowship with him is kept to a minimum. Letters in both directions often do not reach.

Personally, to see my brother Natalia can’t.
“Oleg refused dates. He said that it’s easier for him to stay emotionally”, she said.
In his letters Sentsov on prison realities not complaining – more worried about relatives. In the Crimea he left a mother and two children.
