The Investigative Committee of Russia began checking after the appearance on the Internet of a video of the beating of a student of the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA) Alexei Knyazev. The check was launched “at the direction of the leadership” of the Main Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee for Moscow.
We are talking about the video , which was published on December 9 in the public MDK. On it, a student of the Institute of Industry Management Knyazev is forced to write down an apology “to the entire RANEPA” and separately “to all girls of Caucasian nationality and, in principle, to all girls” with blows.
Unknown interlocutors of Knyazev hit him several times, believing that he was ironic during the apology. He is also threatened with reprisals if he “just once more” writes something in the student group VKontakte.
We are talking about a post where it was discussed that Caucasian girls cannot date Russians because of the ban on relatives. Knyazev wrote in a commentary that the laws of Russia do not allow restricting anyone's freedom.
“Many topics were considered insults. In particular, it’s somehow not appropriate to kill people for their views, and those who do this are worthy of punishment, ” said . Knyazev himself later
He explained that after the attack, he turned to the leadership of the RANEPA and named the perpetrators, he was supported. Rustam Tapaev, chairman of the Chechen Youth Union , said he would talk to the attackers.
