Echo of explosion: How law enforcement agencies are looking for accomplices of the Arkhangelsk anarchist

Krasnodar

The first news came from Krasnodar. On a criminal investigation into conversations, they began to call participants in Libertarian telegrams. According to Anatoly Avdeeva, participant in the Libertarian South chat, law enforcement officers asked him questions about a certain questionnaire. They asked about political views, participation in political associations and communities on social networks, as well as attitude to the anarchism and act of Mikhail Zhlobitsky, who blew himself up in the Arkhangelsk FSB. The police said that they have a list of 100 people who need to be interviewed. Avdeev himself associates the call to the police with the fact that he was signed by the anarchist public “People’s Self -Defense” on VKontakte.

Sochi

On November 3, they came for the Communists. At home, the secretary of the city committee of the Sochi Komsomol Danil Pignenin was a search. The court ruling said that the young man may be involved in the “discovery of anti -personnel mines on the metal depot” and explosives may be in his apartment. They didn’t find anything like that, but they seized the charter of the LKSM and leaflets with an invitation to a rally dedicated to the October Revolution. According to the Komsomolets, in this way the authorities wanted to intimidate him and force him to stop social activities.

Arkhangelsk region

And the supporter of “other Russia” Valery Sheptukhin managed to avoid meeting with a representative of law enforcement agencies. He was called a man who introduced himself as an employee of a criminal investigation department by the name of Lomach. Lomach said that he was standing at the entrance of the house where Sheptukhin lives, and wants to talk with the activist about the explosion at the passing FSB. Sheptukhin replied that he had heard about the attack only on the radio and could not add anything to this. Then an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that he would talk with the neighbors of the activist. Later, someone called Sheptukhin and asked if he was in the workplace.

In addition to Sheptukhin, the law enforcement agencies became interested in the journalist of the info24 portal Alexei Polorotov. Polorotov was registered in the city of Velsk, the Arkhangelsk region, but has not been there or in Arkhangelsk for five years. He used to take part in anti -fascist actions. Polorotov believes that the Ministry of Internal Affairs simply raised the old bases in which he could get "because of the fights with the neo-Nazis." Friends told him that police officers came to the address of the journalist’s registration, where neither Polorotov himself nor his family live. The neighbors were asked about where the young man could be now.

The police said that Polorotov allegedly corresponded a lot with Mikhail Zlobitsky. According to the journalist, this is not so. Polorotov claims that he wrote him once - immediately after the attack, to make sure that the account in the messenger belongs to the one whom everyone was considered the organizer of the explosion. After some time, Polorotov’s message turned out to be read - it was probably read by representatives of law enforcement agencies.

Permian

Anastasia Maltsev was urgently called an activist of Russian socialist action (RSD) to the FSB right on the day of the attack. At the same time, she even did not have time to find out about him - the FSB officers told her about the explosion. Maltseva refused to go to the conversation, referring to the late evening. With representatives of the special services, they agreed that they themselves will come to her. According to Maltseva, after the terrorist attack, law enforcement officers will now simulate boiling activities. ”

Kaliningrad

In Kaliningrad, law enforcement agencies did not limit themselves to conversations. On November 5, it became known that the FSB officers detained anarchist Vyacheslav Lukichev. The lawyer Maria Boncler, who defends the activist, said that after the detention of Lukichev, in the presence of a lawyer, six riot police were beaten by appointment. He was beaten in such a way as not to leave marks on the body. The interrogation lasted 36 hours.

According to investigators, Lukichev published a suicide note by Mikhail Zhlobitsky in the Anarchist telegram channel “Prometheus”, accompanying a comment that allegedly justifies terrorism (part 2 of article 205.2 of the Criminal Code). According to Bonzler, the phrase that served as the reason for initiating a criminal case is torn from context.

Moscow

On November 2, a 14-year-old teenager was detained in Moscow. According to the FSB, the young man knew Mikhail Zlobitsky and contacted him. According to the investigation, a home -made explosive device was found at the teenager at home, according to some reports, he planned a terrorist attack on the “Russian march” on November 4, 2018. The criminal case was opened under Articles 222.1 (illegal acquisition, storage of explosives) and 223.1 of the Criminal Code (illegal production of explosives).

The father of the detainee in an interview with the Moscow 24 channel said that his son was not found a bomb, but "individual components that can be bought in any store." According to the man, the son did not prepare any terrorist attacks, and the only thing that connects him with Zhlobitsky was that they were in the same public on the VKontakte social network.

On November 6, the Presnensky District Court of Moscow arrested the detained teenager until December 2. According to the investigation, the young men could have accomplices. According to TASS, during a search in the teenager’s apartment, “numerous home -made mixtures of explosives based on nitrate, smokeless gunpowder and other components for the manufacture of explosives, which were purchased by an organized group with the aim of illegal production of explosives” were seized. The authors of the Telegram channel "Kremlin laundress" said that about ten people associated with a detained teenager were looking for about ten people in Moscow.
