Children are not the right ones

During the next opposition rally on Triumfalnaya Square on November 1 (representatives of unregistered parties and movements now hold them every Tuesday, in addition to the 31st), about 60 people were detained. Among them was a six-year-old boy, Ivan, the son of Other Russia activist Sergei Aksenov. The boy and his 16-year-old nanny Victoria Kuznetsova, as reported by Grani.Ru, were not far from the site of the action. Aksenov Sr. was also detained. When he tried to go to his son, he was beaten.

The boy and the nanny were taken to the police department. They were detained by an employee of the Center for Combating Extremism, Alexey Okopny, a great friend of the National Bolsheviks (he, in particular, is suspected of involvement in the murder of the National Bolshevik Yuri Chervochkin). As Granei.Ru employee Dmitry Zykov wrote in his blog, Victoria Kuznetsova took a photograph of Okopny, for which she was detained along with the boy. The police department informed her that they had detained her for participating in an unauthorized rally (it should be noted that responsibility for such actions begins at the age of 18). They interrogated not only her, but also six-year-old Ivan. When his mother, Anastasia Aksenova, came to pick him up (by that time the boy had spent about two hours in the police department), she was presented with his “testimony”, demanding to sign it. It took the intervention of the Moscow Commissioner for Human Rights, Alexander Muzykantsky, who came with Aksenova, to get rid of the child. But Kuznetsova failed to stand up for Victoria. She was accused of walking with someone else's child, although, as Dmitry Zykov notes, Ivan's parents, naturally, had no complaints against her. The fighter against extremism Okopny threatened her with violence and rape. They searched her with force. There is evidence that Kuznetsova was detained after she photographed Okopny.

Kuznetsova’s parents did not come for her. The girl was refused bail to other adults and was sent to the Temporary Detention Center for Juvenile Offenders. As Alexander Averin, a representative of The Other Russia, explained to the Daily Journal, she was first sent to the 21st children's hospital, and from there to the specified center. Now they are contacting Victoria and trying to pick her up from the center. Parents, according to Averin, did not want to take responsibility. Sergei Aksenov was going to be kept in the police department for the night, accusing him of disobeying the demands of police officers, but as a result he was released in the evening. Other Russia activists Marat Salakhiev and Igor Shchuka stayed at the police station overnight.

Police later stated that the child had to be taken away because he was unattended, but the girl, it turns out, is listed in the missing persons database as wanted.

As it became known in the middle of the day on November 2, Victoria Kuznetsova was released from the Temporary Isolation Center.

The Moscow Commissioner for Children's Rights, Evgeny Bunimovich, said that he intends to appeal to the head of the Moscow Central Internal Affairs Directorate, Vladimir Kolokoltsev, due to the fact that the child was interrogated at the internal affairs department without a legal representative.

Blogs citing a Fronde-TV journalist say that the Tverskoy Department of Internal Affairs intends to initiate a criminal case against Aksenov and deprive him of parental rights.

Meanwhile, Marat Salakhiev was sentenced to nine days in prison, and Igor Shchuka to eight days for allegedly disobeying the demands of police officers.
