In Novy Urengoy, the picketman Mikhail Kataev was detained, who came out with the poster “Grace, if against Putin”. He himself informed the OVD-Info about this.
Kataeva was delivered to the city police department. There, under pressure, fingerprints were removed, photographed and drew up the inspection protocol. The police seized a poster from Kataev to check for violations. “If they identify, then, they say, they will make up the administrative [case], if not, they will return,” the picket worker said.
Soon Mikhail Kataev was taken home in a civilian car. Another car with interrogators joined the police.
09:14 “All the way they do not really say anything. I asked me to stop, I myself would come. Employees are not answered. When I got out of the car and went towards the entrance, they said: “Wait, we didn’t finish. We will conduct an inspection of your apartment for campaign materials,” Kataev reports.
Police invited witnesses to draw up an inspection protocol.
9:33 Police officers drew up a protocol for inspection of the scene and left, Kataev said. He himself was at home, while he did not let the police into the apartment.
