In Penza, on February 12, security forces detained a quadrocopter operator who was filming a video congratulating the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party. Information about this appeared in the group of communists "KPRF in Penza" in "VKontakte".
It is noted that 40 people in red clothes participated in the flash mob, and the cameraman was a guest specialist who had permission to shoot in the city. “He was ready to provide all the necessary confirmations right on the spot, but this was not enough for the police,” the representatives of the Communist Party said.
As a result, three security officials, one of whom was in civilian clothes, detained the man and took him to the police station "to give detailed explanations."
“Perhaps, the goal was to scare the younger generation of communists and Komsomol members who gathered for a flash mob for prevention, with the specific attention of police officers to people in red,” the communists added.
