A warning was issued to the management of the newspaper "Yakutsk Vecherniy"

On September 2, 2009, the prosecutor's office of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) announced that V. Obedin, acting. editor-in-chief of the Yakutsk Vecherniy newspaper, a warning was issued about the inadmissibility of extremist activity in connection with the publication of E. Kiseleva "From what I was known as a brawler - a conversation with the poet Sofron Osipov."

Recall that for this article, which really contained incorrect statements, the founder of the newspaper had already received a similar warning , which was later canceled on formal grounds (the court recognized that the founder had no right to interfere in the creative process of the newspaper's editorial office).

In our opinion, both the first and the current warnings are essentially unlawful, since the controversial statements were contained in Osipov's direct speech, and the journalist directly expressed her point of view: "I disagree with you. I believe that crime has no nationality . " In addition, the editors apologized the very next day after the publication.
