They beat the bad ones

In Moscow, a newspaper correspondent and the activist of another Russia were beaten on the night of Monday on Tuesday, an unknown beat the correspondent of the Politics and Society of Gazeta Artem Skoropadsky. The attack occurred in the midnight area when he returned home to Zamoskvorechye. Having run up from the back, the unknown dealt to Artem two blows in the face, which is why he fell on the pavement unconscious. The attacker did not try to rob a journalist, so the case may be related to professional activities. The victim has an eyebrow dissected and his nose is damaged. That same night, Skoropadsky filed an application with the police.

Meanwhile, yesterday, the 17-year-old activist of another Russia, Maria Koleda, who was also beaten by two unknown people on the evening of January 5, filed an application with the prosecutor's office. As the newspaper correspondent told Koleda in the near future a deputy request from the Communist Party faction should also follow. The victim is in the ranks of the Limonovites and suggests that the cause of beating was her active participation in the opposition shares.

Unknowns acted according to the same scheme as when attacking the leader of the Serpukhov Limonovites Yuri Chervochkin, who died in December from beating. On December 31, the associates of Chervochkin in “other Russia” said they would take revenge on the killers, and Maria Coleda wrote in her “live magazine” a message with sharp statements to law enforcement officials. A few days after that they attacked her. Maria has a concussion, a finger is broken.

The prosecutor’s office “Other Russia” does not hope. “I'm afraid my statement will simply be lost or forget about it,” Koleda told the correspondent of the newspaper. “After all, in the case of Chervochkin, even his mother and witness who found him still have not been interrogated.”
