the owner of a local coffee shop, Alena Polyakevich , 45 thousand rubles The Lyubertsy City Court fined under a protocol for “discrediting” the army, reports “Caution, News”.
Last week, Polyakevich on social networks told how a participant in the war in Ukraine came to her cafe (Alena’s pages on VKontakte, Instagram and Twitter are now closed).
“A soldier from the front came into the coffee shop and began to behave, to put it mildly, not very well. The barista didn’t know what to do with him for an hour, he didn’t react to her at all, so she decided to write to me. I came and settled this situation in two minutes. Without shouting, without swearing or anything else, she simply asked me to leave the room. I’ve already kicked out homeless people, and now grief fighters are on my list,” the girl wrote.
Screenshots of this post appeared the day before on the Telegram channel of misogynist blogger Vladislav Pozdnyakov. He also published an anti-war tweet about the girl, and today he announced her arrest. At the same time, it is unknown which post became the reason for the protocol.
As Mediazona drew attention, the pro-government movement “Russian Community” reported on its page on VKontakte that it was its activists who “achieved the arrest of the owner of the cafe.”
The post says that activists, among whom are “SVO fighters,” came to the establishment in Lyubertsy today, but they “again refused” to serve them. After that, they called the police and “wrote a collective statement.”
The movement published a video showing people in camouflage entering several coffee shops. One of them turns out to be closed, in the second they ask for a book of complaints and suggestions. The following shows footage of activists communicating with police officers. One of the security officials tells them: “Guys, we are on your side. It feels like an incomprehensible barrier has formed between us. Our guys also go there.”
