Orenburg. People in civilian clothes

On Sunday night , the city public organization “Orenburg Youth Movement”, posted the following message on Vkontakte:

ATTENTION!!!!!!

Today Svyatoslav Shcherbakov, returning home late after the rally, WAS BEATEN BY TWO STRANGERS!!!!

Strangers were waiting for him near the house, where they attacked him. Shcherbakov received multiple punches and kicks, and a rib was allegedly broken. AFTER THE BEATING, THE UNKNOWN PEOPLE SAID THAT IF THEY SAW HIM AGAIN AT ONE EVENT, THEY WOULD KILL HIM...

More detailed information will come later!!!!

What action overwhelmed the patience of two (and in fact, there are many more) unknown people? This?

Or this one that Orenburg bloggers wrote about? About a photo shoot with blank sheets of paper near the House of Soviets on the eve of May 9?

By the way, what follows is very interesting.

http://cape-cod.livejournal.com/105285.html#cutid1:

“Against a couple of dozen young people armed with cameras, the police deployed approximately the same number of employees of various special services, armed, as can be seen from the photo (including) machine guns. When a group of comrades approached directly to the steps of the House of Soviets, the police officers warned that this line should not be crossed prohibited, as this is a specially protected security facility!

While everyone was languidly arguing about when and how suddenly an ordinary administrative building began to be equated with silos with nuclear weapons, a man in civilian clothes appeared at the site. This police officer in civilian clothes (in a white shirt), without introducing himself, began to rather harshly ask everyone to disperse and, after arguing with participants in the “DOM” movement, pointedly told someone to call the squad.

No one gave a clear answer to all the questions about why we couldn’t be here and freely take photographs, but the police officer in a white shirt insistently suggested leaving there and going for a walk in the park. After asking who exactly this employee was (with obvious displeasure), he still named his position - deputy chief of police of the Internal Affairs Directorate. However, we never found out the name.

Imbued with the fact that a big boss (and probably a good lawyer) was sent on his day off to suppress walking photographers, the participants began to take turns asking the same question - is it still possible for us to take photographs here or not? And only after explaining that this was a strategic object and that May 9 was coming soon, the deputy police chief said: “Take pictures and leave.”

And then our main interlocutor was clearly very outraged by this young man’s question. He asked why the police were so afraid of some photographers and people with white papers.

To which he replied rather harshly, “Nobody is afraid of you here! It’s you who should be afraid of us.”

So, we are clear: peaceful citizens in their country, gathering peacefully (Article 31 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation) and walking around the square of their city should be afraid of their own police.

What should the police themselves do? Should, for example, look for the couple who beat Svyatoslav? Or do they already know very well who these people were?

About how things stand with Svyatoslav at the moment - again from Vkontakte messages:
