The director Evgeny Berkovich was brought from a pre -trial detention center for goodbye to her grandmother, human rights activist Nina Katerli, who died on November 20 at 90 of her life. This was announced by ex-head of the Echo of Moscow Alexei Venediktov. Information was confirmed by the Mundee Boris Vishnevsky.

Lawyer Berkovich Ksenia Karpinskaya told Mediazone that the director under the escort was delivered from the Moscow pre -trial detention center to St. Petersburg, where farewell took place. Vishnevsky said that before farewell, relatives were allowed into the hall, including Berkovich. “They brought Zhenya Berkovich, let them say goodbye to her grandmother and hug her mother, Elena Efros. Then, when Zhenya was taken away, they let the others go to say goodbye, ”the politician wrote. Karpinskaya clarified that Berkovich "was not allowed to hug with his mother."

After the death of Nina Katerli, such a figure: cultural nits, such as Ivan Urgant, Chulpan Khamatova and Lyudmila Ulitskaya turned to Ombudsmenka Moskalkova with a request to let Evgeny Berkovich let go to the funeral.

Earlier, Berkovich herself asked her to change the measure of restraint for house arrest. She said that over six months of her content in the pre -trial detention center, "a lot of things occurred: the most severe psychological breakdowns and physical diseases." The director asked her to transfer her under house arrest, while "none of the loved ones died."
