In St. Petersburg, at the Levashovsky Memorial Cemetery, while reading the names of the repressed, a man with a yellow-blue badge was detained

UPD: The Vyborg District Court of St. Petersburg imposed a fine of 30 thousand rubles on Mikhail Pushnitsky. “Every person has the right to express a position in a non-violent way,” Pushnitsky said in court.

At the Levashovskoye Memorial Cemetery in St. Petersburg, during an action to read the names of those repressed, the police detained 78-year-old Mikhail Pushnitsky, who had a yellow-blue badge on his clothes.

As a SOTAvision * correspondent reported, the police officers on duty demanded that it be removed, but Pushnitsky refused. Then he was put in a police car and taken to police department No. 49 “for a check.” There an administrative protocol was drawn up against him to “discredit” the army.

Mikhail Pushnitsky was a member of the search group that in 2002 discovered the burials of victims of repression of the 1920-1930s on the territory of the Rzhev artillery range.

In 2008, at the Koirankangas tract, where the remains of residents of the former Finnish villages of Kiurumäki, Kongolovo and Lepsari are located, a memorial cross was erected at Pushnitsky’s personal funds.
