Blogger Dmitry Yakushev spoke about his post, which was probably the reason for checking the work of Noize MC and Oximiron. According to Yakushev, it was a satirical record made as a joke.
The post was published in the Live Journal on December 2. Yakushev pointed out the authorship of the “Group of Patriots”, which allegedly asked the head of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin “to take measures to suppress criminal activity” Noize MC and Oximiron. The letter states that "the criminal activity of these persons today has crossed all the limits of the permissible and has become a national threat, more dangerous than the expansion of NATO." Noize MC “Authors” blame the strengths of the security forces as “six” and “fools in epaulettes”, and oximiron ascribe to the romanticization of prohibited organizations, rehabilitation of Nazism and recognition in the State Department.
On December 5, the UK announced the start of the verification of the performers at the request of the “group of patriots”, while in its release the investigation uses the same formulations that are found in Yakushev’s post. After that, Yakushev denied the existence of the “circulation of a group of patriots” and called on the investigating authorities to stop. “It was a joke. A fictional appeal, specially written in idiotic form, satire in our time, ”he wrote on his blog.
Yakushev spoke more about the post in an interview with Mediazone . He introduced himself as a “little blogger” and a former activist, a little known in the “left environment”. Yakushev said that in this way he was joking often - for example, he wrote a statement on behalf of the "Union of Atheists of the North Caucasus." It treats the work of Noize MC and Oximiron well. He did not send a letter to Bastrykin anywhere, it was available only on a blogger page in a “living magazine”.
- When I open and see that Bastrykin instructed to check the work of Oximiron and Noize MC on this statement, it turns out that I wrote a denunciation? That everything would be so perceived, I did not expect at all, it was written just stupidity, stupid things were written with stupid things, I bring the situation to the point of absurdity, to idiocy, so that people laugh. And they took all this seriously - once again I say, there was no appeal, I ask you not to check anything, in fact, this is a matter of personnel - if such personnel work in the Investigative Committee, which seriously perceive such appeals and react ... sadly.
Yakushev noted that "absurdity becomes a reality." The interview can be read here . Yakushev also talked about the situation with the Rain TV channel.

The list of foreign agents in Russia is rapidly expanding. Independent publications have already been included in it - for example, publishing investigations about the corruption of Medusa and Rain. "Mediazona" is also included in this register.
