Plato Lebedev is taken to the Arctic

Former head of MFI MENATEP Platon Lebedev is heading for the stage to the Murmansk region, a source in the regional FSIN told Interfax .

“Now Lebedev is going on the stage in the Murmansk region,” the source said, without specifying whether this region will become a place of serving the sentence for Lebedev or it will pass through this area in transit.

The Murmansk region, recall, is almost completely behind the polar circle. Since there is actually nowhere to take the prisoner, Lebedev will serve the sentence in this region. Earlier, Lebedev sat in the village of Harp, which is also in the Arctic.

Colleague Lebedev, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, will most likely serve his sentence somewhat south, in the Segezhsky district of Karelia.
