Activist of the St. Petersburg "Solidarity" sprayed pepper gas and beat the brass knuckle.
Member of the Movement "Solidarity of St. Petersburg" Vladimir Shipitsin repeatedly received anonymous threats for his civil activity. On Wednesday, October 25, he was stolen at the entrance of his own house. The oppositionist is confident that the attack is connected with his political views.
On the morning of October 25, Shipitsin returned from a foreign trip and drove home from the station. The activist took part in the rally against the election of the “Alternative for Germany”, which took place on October 22 in Berlin on October 22 in Bundestag.
“Approaching my house, I saw a suspicious man of the southern appearance,” Vladimir Shipitsin told New. - He went with me into the porch and almost immediately sprayed the spray into the face, and then began to beat. I fell and tried to ask: for what? The Caucasian said: “Do not write more x *** yu about good people. You know who I mean. The next time it will be worse! "
Then the attacker photographed the victim on the phone and disappeared.
Having come to his senses, Vladimir immediately called the police, but at the other end of the line, they first advised to undergo a medical examination. Doctors diagnosed a bruise and cut wounds on their heads.
“The doctor said that important bodies were not affected,” said the activist.
"They beat professionally, specifically to scare, and not kill"
In the evening of the same day, Shipitsin was in the 58th police department. It turned out that the coupons about the acceptance of applications were over, and he was advised to "come tomorrow."
According to the activist, he had previously received threats on the Internet. They wrote from the anonymous accounts of VKontakte, promising to hang on the Shipycin “All criminal cases related to drugs” if he does not stop participating in opposition shares.


“I have no debt or personal problems,” commented the activist of “solidarity” the question of “new” about the possible causes of the attack. - And I write on the Internet only about politics. I did not tell anyone when I returned from the trip. Probably the attacker was on duty at my house. ”
Now the wounds were sewn up to Vladimir Shipitsin - half of the head and face is bandaged. The activist admitted that he was afraid to go into his entrance, fearing a second incident.
It should be noted that Vladimir Shipitsin takes an active part in organizing and conducting protests in St. Petersburg against aggression against Ukraine, repressions against Crimean Tatars, in defense of political prisoners. On his pages on social networks, he actively criticizes the policy of the current government.
