FSB officers showed footage from operational video footage taken during the detention of a terrorist in Maykop.
The radical said he was going to kill the guard and burn down the temple.
Special service officers thwarted an attempt to commit a terrorist act in the southern Adygea city of Maykop, RIA Novosti reports.
Law enforcement officers received a tip-off in advance about a terrorist who was planning illegal actions.
FSB officers put a young man under surveillance who bought gasoline at a gas station. He was going to use it to set fire to a church in Maikop.
The radical claims that even the guard could not stop him. He claims that he was ready to go all the way in his intention.
"If there had been a guard, we wanted to stab him. I initially said that I would stab him," the terrorist said in the video footage published by the FSB.
On July 11, law enforcement officers detained a native of one of the Central Asian countries. He planned to commit a terrorist attack, during which he intended to kill priests, guards and set fire to the temple.
