On October 23, a citizen of Israel and Russia Boris Gritz burst into a building on New Arbat, where the Echo editorial office is located, spraying the gas in the face of the guard , went into the editorial room and hit the journalist with a knife in the throat. Gritsa was detained by the guards and handed over to the police. A murder case was initiated against him. The main version considered by the TFR is the insanity of the attacker.
On the same day, Felgenhauer was operated on. On October 25, the journalist began to speak. The attacker’s knife did not damage the vocal cords, so that the journalist will be able to continue to work on radio. Felgenhauer holds the position of deputy editor -in -chief "Echo".
On October 30, at a meeting of the Presidential Council of Human Rights, Vladimir Putin said that the attempt on Felgenhauer was not related to the problem of freedom of speech . Member of the HRC, journalist Stanislav Kucher, called the attempt by the episode of the Cold Civil War in Russia. Putin objected: "You mentioned" Echo of Moscow ", but this is what? Well, the sick person came, what does freedom of speech have come to what? He came from Israel, attacked this journalist."
Venediktov, in turn, said that the TFR should interrogate the employees of the VGTRK and, in particular, Russia-24. In his opinion, the plots of the television channel could be attached to the attack on Felgenhauer.
