The editor -in -chief of "Echo of Moscow" Alexei Venediktov decided to "evacuate" the journalist of the radio station Ksenia Larina abroad. He stated this on the air of "Rain".
According to Venediktov, Larina will leave "for at least six months, until she is guaranteed security", she will lead the program at Echo remotely. The chief editor of the Echo is afraid that "the next blow to the throat can be after this transmission from Solovyov." “I have no other way to protect my journalists,” Venediktov emphasized.
Venediktov also said that he would ask the TFR to interrogate employees of the VGTRK and, in particular, Russia-24. In his opinion, the plots of the TV channel could be attached to the attack on the journalist of Echo Tatyana Felgenhauer.
On October 23, Larina accused the television propagandist Vladimir Solovyov of provocating the attack on the Felgenhauer. “Soloviev really wanted, cattle. Who, he says, will shut up their filthy mouths? There were volunteers,” Larina wrote.
“I understand that Larina is in a serious emotional state, but this does not give her the right to lie,” Solovyov answered on Twitter. The next day, on the air of "Vesti FM" he stated that "reserves the right to demand apologies from Larina and consider other forms of legal protection of his honest name." Soloviev called the journalists of liberal publications "false, vile, rubs."
In the other day, the “Vesti FM” on the same day, Solovyov's co -hosting Armen Gasparyan, said that “the liberals turned on the bullying factory,” accused Larin of lies and called her “complete bastard”.
On Monday afternoon, Israeli citizen Boris Gritz burst into the building on New Arbat, where the Echo editorial office is located, spraying the gas in the face of the guard . He went up to the editorial room and hit Felgenhauer with a knife in the throat. Gritsa was detained by the guards and handed over to the police.
Felgenhauer was hospitalized at the Institute. Sklifosovsky and operated on. The journalist is in satisfactory condition.
Gritsu was charged with part 3 of Article 30 - Part 1 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code (attempted murder, from five to fifteen years of the colony). During the first interrogation, he stated that the Felgenhauer "telepathically pursued" him. In his blog , he also wrote that he was subjected to "telepathic persecution" by the journalist. The main version of the attack considered by the TFR is the insanity of the grits >. On October 23, the Presnensky district court of Moscow sent the attacker in jail .
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.
The attempt on Felgenhauer was 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.
