“I’m now in the Tverskoy police station, allegedly I posted a photo on my Instagram that demonstrates extremist symbols. This is probably some kind of historical photo of me. I was just walking down the street when I was detained,” the activist told MBKh Media.

Shalina added that they are going to draw up a report against her under Article 20.3 of the Administrative Code (propaganda or public display of Nazi symbols or symbols of extremist organizations). The activist was left at the police station overnight until the trial, reported . Other Russia

The police complaints were caused by a photograph published on January 24, Shalina’s lawyer Leonid Solovyov told Mediazona. In the photo taken many years ago, the girl is sitting wearing a badge with a hammer and sickle - the symbol of the National Bolshevik Party, which was declared banned in Russia in 2007.

In April 2019, the Chertanovsky Court of Moscow assigned Shalina two years of administrative supervision for her action at the FSIN exhibition.
