Nazi skinheads - “arsonists” - detained in Ivanovo

In early May 2012, a group of young people were detained in Ivanovo, who were planning a series of arsons in the city for the May Day holidays.

The PPS officers "took" them just after they set fire to the second on account stall. One stall eventually burned down, the second was put out by firefighters (during extinguishing, a significant part of the goods was still spoiled). One of the detainees, a resident of Ivanovo, Sergei Novikov, was previously convicted of attacking the chairman of the Ivanovo Jewish community, Erwin Kirshtein, a member community of Valery Makushev, as well as Rabbi Zvi Hershkovich who arrived from Canada with wife and 8 month old daughter.

Novikov has already testified. He is released under a signature not to leave. The second Nazi skinhead, a resident of Rybinsk, was placed in isolation temporary content.

They do not admit their guilt.
