In Tambov, three people were detained at an event dedicated to the celebration of May 1
In Tambov, during an official event dedicated to the celebration of May 1, Open Russia coordinator Vladimir Zhilkin, his wife and civil activist Andrei Polyakov were detained. They are currently located in police department No. 1 (also called Leninsky).
Zhilkin wrote on Facebook that “they let us into the event area calmly, and after a few meters they stopped us and asked us to proceed to the police station. To our surprise, the question “what did we do wrong” was answered, from which it follows that the reason was once again the call they received.”
writes Zhilkin further reported that “the call with a false denunciation was made” by the head of the executive committee of the Tambov city branch of United Russia, Sergei Khomutinkin. Zhilkin also said that his email was hacked.
suggested that Zhilkin and Polyakov were also detained on April 29 before the start of the #Tired action. Zhilkin was worth 25 thousand rubles as the organizer of an uncoordinated event.
