No reasons needed

In Samara, activists of the “Other Russia” National Bolsheviks Anastasia Kurt-Adzhieva and Yuri Chervinchuk were first detained without reason, and then released for no reason, Kommersant writes. On Sunday afternoon, the young people were stopped by officers from the Organized Crime Control Department and offered to travel with them. “The police motivated their actions with some operational information that Nastya or Yura had a grenade in their bag,” explained Anastasia’s father, editor of Novaya Gazeta in Samara Sergei Kurt-Ardzhiev. The “dissenters” were released without charges, as they say, following a personal call from Samara Mayor Viktor Tarkhov.
