The Vyborg District Court of St. Petersburg extended for two months the term of arrest to the chairman of the public movement "Russian Party" Nikolai Bondarik. This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to his lawyer Svetlana Ratnikov. Bondarika is accused of organizing provocations on the day of the celebration of Kurban-Bayram.
"The court refused to satisfy our petition to change the preventive measure for the softer and extended the arrest of Nikolai until February 15," said Ratnikova. According to the lawyer, she intends to appeal this decision.

The court hearing at the request of the investigator was held closed.

We are talking about the injuries to themselves in order to pass them out for traces of the attack. Now these people are in the case in the status of witnesses, because, according to the investigation, they gave exposure to the Bondarik.
On October 23, Bondarik was charged . He is charged with two episodes with the same qualifications according to paragraph "in" part of Article 282 of the Criminal Code (excitement by an organized group of hatred and enmity on the grounds of nationality and attitude to religion). The maximum sanction for this part is five years of imprisonment.
According to investigators, Bondarik bowed a 16-year-old teenager to cause himself a knife wound to his hand, and then posted on the Internet false information about the attacks of national motives on a teenager. In addition, Bondarik is suspected of suggesting a certain Vasily Baranov for a reward in the amount of 20 thousand rubles to allow himself to injure himself from traumatic weapons. On October 15, near the stall on the Prospekt Avenue, the Bondarik's accomplices caused Baranov a firearm wound to the back. After that, Baranov told police officers and medical workers that the Seller Lark allegedly wounded him.
The investigation believes that this information was used by the participants of the criminal group organized by Bondarik "to arouse hatred and enmity to immigrants from the regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as to persons professing the Muslim religion."
On October 20, in St. Petersburg, during the campaign of nationalists in support of Bondarik and after its completion, more than 90 people were detained ( 
On November 13, the City Court of St. Petersburg canceled the decision of the district court on the arrest of Bondarik. The case was aimed at a new consideration. However, the court of first instance again decided to arrest the accused during the investigation.
Also, the investigation was rejected by the petition of Bondarik’s lawyer for confrontation with witnesses and to verify the polygraph of all three defendants in the case.
