🔵 “Attempts on the leadership of the RKN” and the “Scarlet Swan” case. In mid-March, calls for actions against blockings began to appear in the media, and the Scarlet Swan channel appeared on Telegram, which allegedly coordinated them. On April 24, the FSB reported on the arrest on April 18 of seven people in the case of preparing an assassination attempt on the leadership of Roskomnadzor. One of the defendants was shot dead. On the same day, four members of the Scarlet Swan movement disappeared.
In the security services video, acquaintances recognized 19-year-old RUDN University student Sofia Chepik, one of the Scarlet Swan participants. The girl told how security forces forced her to slander herself on video and state that she administered a chat where they published calls for “violent action” against the RKN. Later the girl left Russia.
At the end of April, two more people, including a minor, were detained in Moscow for “actions of intimidation” against the leadership of Roskomnadzor.
