An ANS activist said that an operative of Center “E” is distributing his personal data

Nikita Zaitsev, an activist of the Association of Popular Resistance (ANS), said that an operative of Center “E” was distributing his personal data and photographs from the search in his apartment. Zaitsev published a message about this on his Telegram channel.

In December 2018, a search was carried out in Zaitsev’s apartment as a witness in the case of a fire attack near the FSB building. Then among the police officers there was an operative who introduced himself as Oleg Nikolaevich Kuznetsov. The activist's disks, computer, several mobile phones, stickers and leaflets of Alexei Navalny were confiscated. After the end of the operational activities, the activist was taken to a conversation with employees of Center “E” at the Meshchansky police department.

And on July 9, 2019, photos from that same search and personal photographs of Zaitsev from the seized phone were published in the telegram channel “Bessrochny Curator”. “They can’t even restore order and bring their abode back to human form. Did Putin himself come and scatter your books, peel off the wallpaper and, in addition, leave his portrait on a pile of rubbish, which he apparently built himself?! “- “Lifetime Curator” signs the photo.

Referring to a photograph of Oleg Kuznetsov himself published in the “Bessrochny Curator” channel, “obviously taken by him,” Zaitsev claims that the owner of this channel is Kuznetsov. The activist has already sent a letter to the prosecutor's office with a request to check the actions of the police officers and take the necessary measures.

• A search in connection with the fire incident was also carried out at Afanasy Afanasyev’s place. According to him, the operative who conducted the search admitted that “he is a kind of curator of the ‘perpetual protest’ - he is watching us, directing all searches, detentions and interrogations.”
• Sofya Kardash, a participant in the “perpetual protest,” said that she also encountered operative Oleg Kuznetsov. He introduced himself as a police officer, but Kardash believes that the men who communicated with her were employees of Center “E”. She explained to OVD-Info that she thought so because those who came did not show documents. According to her, they talked to her at the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music, where she studies.
