Has a guilty, and we created a precedent for the impossibility of repeating such actions by other persons.”
On April 13, 2014, Gorzheinova, a resident of Chugueva, Kharkov region, participated in the beating of Euromaidan activists in the capital of the region. Then the pro -Russian demonstrators attacked their opponents, as a result of which about 50 Euromaidans suffered. Gorzheinova kicked her legs injured.

Silievich fell into intensive care in a coma. He had the bones of the skull; Their fragments damaged the brain substance and broke the brain shells. The activist underwent two operations.
Gorzheinov was identified by video. On April 17, she was detained, and a day later, the Leninsky district court of Kharkov sent her under house arrest for a period of two months. After this time, the prosecutor's office did not ask for an extension of the arrest, since the accused did not try to hide. In addition, she was taken into account by the presence of a disabled child and an elderly mother.
Silievich after recovery went to the ATO zone, where he was repaired by military vehicles as a volunteer.
