"Educational conversations" with Cheboksary students

On May 19, 2006, the apartments of several students of Cheboksary universities who joined the Communist Party of the Russian Federation were visited by employees of the Organized Crime Control Department, who, after asking the parents of the students what party their children belong to, explained that they were looking for young people in order to take them to the Moscow District Department of Internal Affairs to testify .

Communist Party activist Dmitry Evseyev and one of the "wanted" young communists visited the Moscow police department of Cheboksary, where they had an "educational conversation" with a student.

Police officer Alexander Shitov was interested in what the young man who came to the conversation was doing in his free time, what his political views were, what party he had been a member of and for how long, whether he paid membership dues and how much. A. Shitov could not answer D. Evseev's questions about the reason for such an interest of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. From the conversation, it became clear, says the activist of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in his message on the official website of the party, that the police officer is acting on the orders of his superiors and does not know what these conversations are for: “His only task was to compose an explanatory note for this citizen that he is in Communist Party!"

When the policeman found out that D. Evseev was an assistant to a State Duma deputy and secretary of the Chuvash Republican Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, after conferring with his superiors, he suggested that Evseev write an explanatory note and undergo fingerprinting.

D. Evseev and an unnamed communist refused to give explanations and undergo fingerprinting.
