In Moscow, they came to the headquarters of the National Bolsheviks with a search

In Moscow, the security forces came to the headquarters ("bunker") of the National Bolsheviks with a search. This was reported in the telegram channel "Direct Action".

During the weekly party meeting, the police came to the headquarters of the National Bolsheviks. After that, communication with the activists was interrupted.

There are about 15-20 people in the bunker, including Natalya Krivolapova, Olga Shalina, Mikhail Aksel, Timofey Filin, Sergey Demidov, Rostislav Nekenov. Mikhail Galyashkin, a supporter of the Other Russia E.V. Limonov, told OVD-Info about this.

21:50 According to preliminary data, 28 National Bolsheviks were in the bunker at the time of the search, Galyashkin reports. The Readovka publication published a video in which one of the detainees reports that he was beaten, demanding to hand over passwords to access party Internet resources.

According to SOTA, from the basement where the office of the National Bolsheviks is located, shouts of “Do not hit” and the sounds of blows were heard. The police interfere with the work of journalists and cameramen, blinding them with a strobe light.

Mikhail Aksel, coordinator of The Other Russia E.V. Limonov, accompanied by police, told reporters that 30-40 security officials are looking for weapons and illegal migrants, reports . SOTA

National Bolsheviks associate the search with the actions of their associates against torture. So, at the end of October, near the building of the Moscow Federal Penitentiary Service, Alexei Chernikov tied himself to a metal prison bed and placed a sign next to it with the inscription “FOR WHAT?”. The activist was sentenced to 10 days of administrative arrest under the "rally" article. In early November, the Perm National Bolsheviks were assigned 40 hours of compulsory work because of the action with the banner “FSIN is hell.”

A lawyer from "Apology" Leonid Solovyov is going to help the detainees.

23:00 The first paddy wagon with the National Bolsheviks arrived at the Tverskoy police station, with them the Apology lawyer Leonid Solovyov. The detainees themselves reported this to OVD-Info.

Earlier, an investigative group of the Ministry of Internal Affairs drove up to the "bunker". According to Avtozak LIVE, such groups work in the investigation of crimes.

23:10 The search at the National Bolsheviks is over, writes SOTA. The head of the Moscow branch of the party, Olga Shalina, was taken out of the headquarters.

A second paddy wagon with the detainees drove up to the Tverskoy police station.

23:30 According to Galyashkin, who is near the police department, there are 33 detainees inside.

In the telegram channel "Direct Action", according to Shalina, they report the details of the search:

Everyone was laid face down on the floor, they were not allowed to raise their heads, they stepped on their heads, on their feet, on their hands. The security forces were in body armor, with shields for the assault. They did not have any identification marks, only stripes with the inscription "police"

The police did not show the documents allowing to inspect the premises.

23:58 National Bolsheviks began to be released two by two from the department without drawing up protocols, Galyashkin reports. Beaten during the search, Kirill Imashev is threatened with a protocol under the article on disobedience to the police (Article 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses). This article suggests arrest as a possible punishment, so Imashev could be kept in the department overnight.

According to one of the coordinators of the party, Mikhail Axel, the Direct Action telegram channel reports on the details of the search:

Everyone was laid on the floor, people lay down in two rows, on top of each other. Then the security forces began to beat. The guy who was lying next to him twisted his head, the cop noticed and kicked him in the head six times. On others, they simply walked, right on the backs. The girls were separated, they were searched by a cop. Everyone's phones were taken away. They saw a tattoo on one of the activists and beat him against the wall for it

16 November 2:10 All the detained National Bolsheviks were released from the police department without protocols, the party's press secretary told OVD-Info. Explanatory notes were taken from the activists.
