Persecution of activists in Samara

On March 20, 2006, it became known that the participants in the theatrical action against hazing in the army, which took place in Samara on February 23, 2006, were under pressure.

One of the participants, Danila Vanchaev, was approached by an unknown person who introduced himself as an FSB officer, showed his ID and offered to get into the car. Danila was taken to the prosecutor's office, where they were interrogated for several hours, and the prosecutors were interested in "Satanism" and acts of vandalism in Samara cemeteries. Danila Vanchaev has nothing to do with destructive religious cults and satanic rituals, according to the website of the Collective Action Institute.

The girl participating in the action was threatened in connection with her participation in the action on February 23 by an unknown employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the website also reports.
