I read article in Polish portal about it, ( http://wiadomosci.onet.pl/swiat/sen...kowi-szykowali-powst,1,4091201,wiadomosc.html - you can try google translate it, but it will be junk possible) I tried to find such news on CNN and in google and found only this photo link above. In short, small (or not that small?) group of Russian soldiers planed to do armed revolt in Russia and they though that whole Russia Military would join them...
 
I guess not, as they catch them. But most silly was they trained on crossbows. They was ex-military or something after Russia reduced their military numbers.
 
Seems to be quite a restless guy:
Vladimir Vasilievich Kvachkov (Russian: Владимир Васильевич Квачков; born 5 August 1948) is an ex-colonel of Russian Military Intelligence service GRU, author and politician. He came to prominence after he was arrested and charged with an attempt to murder Russian politician and businessman Anatoly Chubais. After three years of imprisonment he was acquitted by the court on 5 June 2008.

Spoiler :
Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has accused ex-intelligence officer Vladimir Kvachkov of preparing an armed rebellion for the forceful seizure of power in Russia, business daily Kommersant reported on Saturday.

Kvachkov was arrested on Thursday a day after Russia's Supreme Court upheld his acquittal in a high-profile case of an assassination attempt in 2005 on Anatoly Chubais, former head of the UES electricity giant and architect of post-Soviet reforms.

According to Russia's FSB, Kvachkov, as head of the headquarters of the Minin and Pozharsky public militia group, plotted to seize weapons in several military units and organize an armed march on Moscow for the forceful overthrow of power, the paper reported.

Kvachkov's defense, however, has said the FSB's allegations are unfounded, the paper reported.

Kvachkov himself has denied the accusations, saying they are based on false allegations that he and members of an organization he leads were plotting a coup.

That Kvachkov guy is a loony ultraxenophobe who loves to say various murderous things. He escaped conviction for attempted murder of Chubais because the jury took pity on the loon (and because Chubais is very unpopular).

Seems like a network of ex-militia hostile to the Putin-side which got their head cut off as a consequence. As exciting as a forceful overthrow in Russia would be (exciting, not positive) I suspect those allegations to be exaggerated.

Exciting especially if someone live near Russia...
 
Yeah, Poland have at least buffer zone, and Kaliningrad is not so strong.
