The district police officer came to the home of the author of the article about the list of students who oppose voting on the Constitution

In Mari El, a district police officer came to the house of 7×7 journalist Natalya Petrova about her article about collecting information about students of the Mari State University who opposed the vote on amendments to the Constitution. about this Writes "7 × 7".

“The materials in the police officer's folder contained printouts of the first publication with '7×7' about students and material from an unknown publication that used our screenshots. In my opinion, it was the “Version of Chuvashia”. The screen where MarSU confirms the collection of such lists from its official page was not among the printouts. Another district police officer was interested in my acquaintance with the girl who was the author of the message about the lists in student correspondence. Her name and surname appeared in the documents, which were definitely received from the university, but not from us. There were no personal data of students in any of the publications - neither in 7 × 7, nor in other publications, ”the journalist was quoted by Horizontal Russia.

The publication published material on the lists of students of a local university who opposed the vote on amendments to the Constitution on June 3, 2020. After posting the news in the 7×7 Mari El group on VKontakte, the university's official account stated that the lists were formed for "educational work."

On June 11, "Horizontal Russia" published the news that the rector of MarGU applied to the prosecutor's office with a demand to check "knowingly false information" about the university.
