Friends of the chairman of the Union of Workers of Sevastopol, Valery Bolshakov, told OVD-Info that the activist had not been in touch since November 13. Earlier, Bolshakov had his bank account blocked due to suspicion of extremism.
According to the publication “Crimea. Realii "On November 13, Bolshakov received a certificate from the bank, which said that:" The Russian National Commercial Bank ... informs you about the failure to carry out a transaction with your funds or other property due to the presence of information about you in the List of organizations and individuals, in respect of whom there is information about their involvement in extremist activities or terrorism.
Since then, according to Bolshakov's acquaintances, "there is no contact with him, none of his acquaintances knows where he is, he does not answer phone calls." The activist's name is on the "black list" of Rosfinmonitoring.
Bolshakov is also the secretary of the Sevastopol city organization of the Russian political party "Russian United Labor Front". The activist claimed that his party organization was not banned or recognized as extremist by a court order.
