Fight by any means necessary

Late in the evening of December 23, in the village of Zeleny, Noginsk district, Moscow region, an unknown person attacked with a knife a local environmentalist, 70-year-old deputy Lyudmila Garifulina. The attack took place near her home.

Garifulina protected the local forest from development. Previously, she spoke at public hearings, defending the interests of residents, and allowed herself critical remarks about the local administration.

This is not the first attack on Garifulina in the past three months. Previously, unknown people tried to stage a robbery, beat her on the head, and tried to break her neck.

Now Garifulina is in intensive care.
