In Kazan, the police came to the office of the movement “Against Crime and Lawlessness” on the day of Medvedev’s arrival

In Kazan, police officers came to the office of the movement "Against Crime and Lawlessness" and are looking for chairman Dmitry Berdnikov. He told OVD-Info about this.

The city is hosting the WorldSkills World Skills Championship, attended by Dmitry Medvedev.

“The police are breaking in the door, they don’t let anyone into the office and they ask where I am. I attribute this to my activities against compacted development and the investigation into the use of budget funds for the championship,” Berdnikov said.

In February, the police were looking for Berdnikov because he had published a letter to Putin on VKontakte. In May, during the president's visit to Kazan, policemen also came to the movement's office to talk to Berdnikov.

• In 2017, Berdnikov was detained on Svobody Square in Kazan. Then he tried to hold an action along the route of the motorcade of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and give him an icon. The activist was then beaten at the police station and arrested for 10 days.
