In his blog, Grits wrote that he was subjected to "telepathic persecution" from the journalist. “Taking advantage of the fact that blocking telepathic contact is more difficult than physical, Tatyana Felgenhauer is constantly pursuing me, in the morning, day, at night. This has been going on for a couple of weeks. Tatyana does not pay attention to all my attempts to stop this persecution,” he wrote on September 14. “A few weeks later I come to Moscow and, if this does not stop, the consequences can be very unpleasant.”

The official representative of the Investigative Committee of Svetlana Petrenko stated that Gritz, a native of Abkhazia, has two passports - Israel and Russia. In 2003, he left for Israel, and returned to Russia a month ago and lived in Moscow with his friend. According to Petrenko, the detainee in interrogation said that the last five years he talked with Felgenhauer through telepathy, which was why he had a personal hostility to the journalist. At the same time, according to Petrenko, Grats had no complaints about her professional activity. Gritsa is going to be sent to a forensic psychiatric examination.
Felgenhauer has been working at the radio station for more than 10 years. Today, at Echo, the journalist, together with Alexander Poyshchev, led the Morning U -turn program.
Two weeks ago, the plot of the Echo of the State Department came out at Russia-24. The Echo of Moskvy Radio Plant came across cooperation with the Western NGOs. " It said that "non -profit structures with gray financing are becoming more dangerous for Russian society than the ISIS grouping," and "Echo of Moscow" is engaged in "anti -state activities" and, in fact, is a "foreign agent". The plot has repeatedly mentioned Felgenhauer. In particular, her words were given that in Russia there are too many restrictions for journalists.
This is not the first attack on Echo journalists. On the night of July 19, unknown people sprayed the wall of the summer resident Yulia Latinina in Peredelkina, New Moscow, as well as a car parked nearby. Eight people, including two neighboring children, suffered from pairs of this substance in pairs. It became impossible to use the machine - since then it remained at the cottage and ventilated. The examination later showed that the caustic fluid contained dimethylformamamamam (DMFA) and high molecular weight phthalates are life -threatening poisons .
In the future, attacks on the journalist continued. In the early morning of September 3 , Latinina burned . At first, the interrogator did not exclude the version of self -flaming, but then he found foci of fire in three places at once. On October 10, on the fact of arson of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the case opened the case under part 2 of Article 167 of the Criminal Code (destruction or damage to other people's property by arson, up to five years in a colony).
On September 9, Latynina announced that she left Russia with her parents and did not intend to return in the near future. She did not specify which country emigrated into.
