In the spring of 2023, his letter was published: „As an anarchist, a revolutionary and a Russian person… I did it for the sake of justice, the defense of Ukrainian society and – the liberation of my country, Russia, from oppression. For the sake of all the people who are deprived of dignity and the opportunity to breathe freely by the vile totalitarian system created in Russia and Belarus.“ In April, Petrov’s comrades and relatives learned that he had gone missing near Bakhmut.
