The ex-coordinator of Navalny's headquarters in St. Petersburg had his accounts seized

The former coordinator of Navalny's St. Petersburg headquarters, Irina Fatyanova, had her bank accounts seized. The oppositionist wrote about this in her Telegram channel.

The accounts were seized in connection with the decision of the Dzerzhinsky District Court of St. Petersburg, which recovered almost four million rubles from Fatyanova as compensation for the work of security forces at rallies in support of Navalny in January 2021.

The activist, together with her lawyer, appealed the court decision on collection and filed a complaint against the seizure of accounts. Fatyanova herself is abroad.

• In a number of regions, local departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs filed claims for hundreds of thousands of rubles against activists whom they considered organizers of protests. These regions include Yaroslavl , Kirov , Kemerovo , Omsk , Chelyabinsk , Penza , Novosibirsk , Murmansk , Tambov , Arkhangelsk , Samara regions, Khakassia and Bashkortostan .
• On June 9, 2021, the Moscow City Court recognized the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK), the Foundation for the Protection of Citizens' Rights (FZPG) and the headquarters of Alexei Navalny as extremist organizations. An appeals court later upheld this decision. After this, supporters of the opposition politician began to leave Russia en masse.
• After the arrest of politician Alexei Navalny in January 2021, a series of protests took place throughout Russia, mass protests took place on Saturday January 23, Sunday January 31 and February 2 (the day Navalny’s suspended sentence was replaced with a real one).
