Near the residence of Vladimir Putin on Rublevo-Uspenskoye Highway in the Moscow region, MBKh Media journalists Anastasia Kulagina, Maria Pogrebnyak and Andrey Zolotov were detained. It is reported by MBH Media.
The police explained the detention by the fact that the journalists walked under the sign “no entry” (“brick”). Kulagina told MBKh Media that all the detainees had their passports confiscated, put on a bus and taken to the police station.
Sign 3.1 "No Entry" applies only to vehicles. This sign does not restrict the passage of pedestrians.
Now the detainees are being interrogated by FSO officers in connection with the fact that they "ended up in the protected area of the first person." This was reported to MBKh Media at the Barvikha police department, where the journalists were taken.
The journalists were going to film a story about a two-story emergency wooden house next to Putin's residence. Nine families live in the house, they promised to resettle it for several years, but this never happened.
17:00 All the detained journalists were released from the police department without drawing up protocols. It is reported by MBH Media.
Two journalists were photographed and fingerprinted, the third refused to be photographed or fingerprinted.
