Yaroslavl journalist complained about his dismissal after criticizing the governor’s security
A journalist for the Berega newspaper, which is published in the city of Tutaev, Yaroslavl region, said that he was forced to resign after he criticized the protection of the region's governor. As Aleksey Krivtsov explained to the 7×7 publication, he was told that if he did not quit, he would be fired under the article.
The editor-in-chief of Beregov, Alena Sokolova, said that Krivtsov “suffers from a harmful addiction to alcohol,” and behaves rudely on social networks.
Aleksey Krivtsov wrote on August 6 that the guards of Acting Governor Dmitry Mironov were "cursing obscenities."
“I was told that if I didn’t quit myself, they would be fired under the article. And my colleague got a warning for liking and commenting on Facebook. They argued this decision as a violation of job descriptions and the code of journalistic ethics,” he told a 7×7 correspondent.
