In Togliatti on June 7, Vyacheslav Shepelev was a search of the former leader of the Hammer Trade Union. He himself told about this on the page on the Classmates social networks.

Law enforcement officers told the activist that the search was held as part of the case of inciting ethnic rake (part 1 of article 282 of the Criminal Code), which was excited against Shepelev.
