The police opened a case against the NTV Correspondent of the DPR militant

The police opened the case under Article 116 of the Criminal Code (beatings, up to two years of the colony) against the former militant of the DPR, who beat the NTV correspondent Nikita Razvozzhaev in Gorky Park in Moscow. This was reported on the website of the metropolitan prosecutor's office.

The incident occurred when Razvozhaev, a correspondent of the Extraordinary Accident program, conducted a report on the celebration of the Airborne Forces from Gorky Park. When the journalist began to tell why the Airborne Forces were called "elite troops", a man approached him and began to express his foul language. At the same time, he threatened to "seize Ukraine." When Razvozhaev asked him to be engaged in a shut, he hit the reporter on his face live.

The attacker ran away, but he was soon detained. As reported on the NTV website, he was not related to the Airborne Forces. According to the television channel, the attacker is 32 -year -old Alexander Orlov. The man was dressed in a T -shirt with the inscription "Oplot" - this is the name of one of the battalions of the militants of the DPR and the same public organization, headed by the head of the "republic" Alexander Zakharchenko. According to Life, the detainee told the police that he had fought, but "not in Russia, but where Zakharchenko", apparently referring to the fighting in the Donbass.

In the "stronghold", however, they argue that the man was not related to the organization. Zakharchenko wrote on his Twitter that the attacker "was in vain hiding behind the names of the" stronghold "and the DPR.

NTV later published a video in which Orlov offers to apologize to the journalist and pay him compensation. “Listen, I am ready to apologize and monetary compensation. Let's add. I didn’t want to. I just go, and he tells me some muck, and I threw his hand to him, and that's it,” the detainee said.

On the VK page of Orlov there are many reposts of the Movences "Forty forty". Orthodox activists, however, also deny that Orlov was related to the organization.
