An anti-fascist was beaten in St. Petersburg

On March 17, 2021, one of the far-right telegram channels spread the news that anti-fascist Anton “Bomzh” Sokolov had been attacked in St. Petersburg.

According to the far right, Sokolov desecrated the grave of Dmitry Borovikov . According to another version, the grave was desecrated three or four years ago, and there is no photo of Sokolov confirming this event.

The beating video shows the anti-fascist being knocked down and kicked to death. He was reportedly hospitalized with a fractured head.
In 2017, a group of 15 neo-Nazis led by Andrey Link decided to go to Etazhi in search of Sokolov, but they did not find anyone and attacked the visitors and staff of the Animals vegan restaurant. The glass windows of the bar were broken, two people were injured, the attackers fled.
