Krasnodar Solidarity activist Viktor Chirikov visited the local department of the FSB, the day before he was summoned there . He told OVD-Info that he was questioned about the content of his posts on the VKontakte social network. As Kuban activist Daria Polyudova, who was sentenced to two years in a colony-settlement and awaiting trial on an appeal, clarified later, Chirikov’s interlocutor, Lieutenant Colonel Georgy Kotenko, showed a screenshot of Chirikov’s page, asked if he called for a revolution, and also what actions he carried out , and in which Polyudova participated.
But most of all, Kotenko was interested in the local LGBT activist Nina Solovieva, who, in turn, was summoned to the FSB on March 6. Kotenko showed Chirikov a screenshot of her website and asked what actions they had taken part in together.
Chirikov also gave a receipt that he was not going to commit extremist and terrorist acts. “I was surprised: we usually do this with the eshniki, and here the lieutenant colonel of the FSB is engaged in such nonsense,” Chirikov said.
