AutoDafe

In Moscow, unknown people burned two cars near the Office of the Pen & Paper Bar Association, where ex-senator Konstantin Dobrynin, representing the interests of the director of the film "Matilda" Alexei Teacher, works. Dobrynin wrote about this on his Facebook.

The lawyer told Fontanka that three unknown in masks had committed arson. The attack was committed about half past seven in the morning.

Near the burned cars, the attackers scattered the leaflets "burn for Matilda."

Dobrynin accuses Natalya Poklonskaya, who advocates the ban on Matilda, of provoking a solid of the State Duma deputy. “While Poklonskaya tells everyone about some claims of the relatives of the Holy Tsar and is trying to ban the film, her supporters continue to throw Molotov cocktails and burn,” the lawyer wrote. “In any case, we will ask questions to the deputy of the State Duma of Poklonskaya,” he added.

On September 6, Dobrynin wrote a statement against Poklonskaya in connection with the persecution of the teacher to the FSB director Alexander Bortnikov. The lawyer asked to check her for involvement in the activities of the Christian State - Holy Russia organization, which in January sent letters with threats on the eve of the Matilda show in the cinema .

This is the third arson, presumably committed by the opponents of Matilda. On September 4, in Yekaterinburg, the 39-year-old Orthodox fanatic Denis Murashov crashed into the front doors of the cinema hall "Cosmos" on his UAZ, after which he set fire to the car and escaped. The flame was transferred from the car to the building; The entrance to the "Cosmos" was completely burned out.

Murashov was soon detained. He explained his act with protest against the release of Matilda on the screens. On September 6, the arsonist was arrested. Part 2 of Article 167 of the Criminal Code (intentional damage to property by arson) threatens him to five years in the colony.

On the night of August 31, in St. Petersburg, two unknown people threw the Molotov building with the Molotov Building Studio , which houses the Rock teacher. The flame was quickly extinguished. The police started a case of hooliganism. The media connected the incident with the closed show "Matilda", held in the city the day before.

The teacher’s film is dedicated to the novel by Nicholas II with the ballerina Matilda Kshesinskaya. The campaign against him began last fall the former prosecutor of the annexed Crimea Poklonskaya. She submitted a number of denunciations to the director, in which she stated that “Russia is presented in the film as a country of gallows, drunkenness and fornication,” and in addition, the picture insults “persons officially canonized”, including Nicholas II. In this regard, Poklonskaya demanded to verify the legality of spending budget funds allocated for the shooting of Matilda.
