The leader of an Atlanta-based, far-left extremist group known for its outrageous protests and social media posts has been charged in federal court with taking part in an alleged Kremlin-backed operation to sow discord in the United States. Augustus C. Romain, Jr., is charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States and is accused of accepting money and other assistance from Alexandr Viktorovich Ionov, a Russian national with connections to the FSB, Russia’s intelligence service, according to an indictment unsealed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Tampa, Fla. Romain, the flamboyant leader of the Black Hammer Party who goes by the name Gazi Kodzo and uses gender-neutral pronouns, was already in jail in Fayette County on charges of kidnapping, aggravated sodomy, racketeering and human trafficking related to police raid on the group’s Fayetteville headquarters last July.

When Svitlana Markina’s daughters asked to go to a holiday camp in Russian-occupied Crimea last October, she thought it might be their only chance to take a break from the brutal and exhausting war. Schoolteachers said it was an opportunity for the girls—Yana, 15, and Yeva, 12—to rest and recuperate away from Kherson, which was being hit by shelling as Ukraine’s southern counteroffensive drew near; the city had been under Russian occupation since just after the full-scale invasion in February. “Why do you want to keep your children here? Why do you want to keep them from the sea and fresh air?” members of the Russian administration insisted. “I’m a single mother. I work full time in a factory, and things were really hard for us even before the war,” said Markina, 36, who is originally from Crimea but has not been able to visit since Russia illegally annexed it in 2014. “The girls had never even left Kherson before.”  On Oct. 7, Yana and Yeva were loaded onto buses alongside dozens of other children, clutching their original birth certificates as instructed. Yura Verbovytskyi, 15, who was also on the buses that day, said the mood was excitement, not fear. But as they set off, the Russian soldiers overseeing the trip made the sign of the cross. “That’s when we first thought, ‘What the hell is going on?’” Yura said.  The children didn’t return two weeks later, as the Russian administration had promised. “I realized the girls were not coming back, and I tried to reach the school, but no one was there,” Markina said. Another two weeks passed, and Ukrainian forces arrived in Kherson, liberating it from Russian occupation—but leaving Markina’s daughters trapped on the opposite side of an all-out war, with no border crossings open to Crimea.
