In the name of good neighborly relations

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine refused to initiate a criminal case in connection with the kidnapping of Left Front activist Leonid Razvozzhaev on the territory of the country. According to some reports, Razvozzhaev was kidnapped by unknown persons near the building of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Kyiv. The activist was going to ask for political asylum. We would like to remind you that shortly after his disappearance, Razvozzhaev found himself in custody in Moscow. He told representatives of the Public Monitoring Commission that he was kept in a basement in the Bryansk region, not allowed to eat or drink, threatened and forced to write a confession, which the Investigative Committee now uses as an argument in favor of the fact that Left Front activists were preparing to organize mass unrest. . Another Left Front activist, Konstantin Lebedev, is in custody in connection with the same case; Sergei Udaltsov is left free on his own recognizance.

The logic of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine is ironclad: there is no point in opening a criminal case of kidnapping, since Razvozzhaev has been found.
