Activist of "The Other Russia" released in Rostov-on-Don
Sergey Volodin, a National-Bolshevik and one of the coordinators of "The Other Russia" Coalition for the Rostov Region, is back at large. The "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was informed about it by Boris Baty, Chairman of the Rostov Branch of the United Civil Front. As he said, Sergey Volodin was freed from the special isolation facility last Sunday with the farewell words "Come again."
Boris Baty told that National-Bolshevik Nikolai Getmantsev was detained in Taganrog for allegedly using obscene words. In Mr Baty's opinion, while the presidential election is coming closer, the pressure of law enforcement bodies on activists of "The Other Russia" will get stronger and stronger: "Currently, I'm under recognizance not to leave on the criminal case connected with detection of counterfeit software products. Both I and other coordinators of 'The Other Russia' often notice surveillance. Last time, I noticed shadowing on February 1 since morning, I managed to escape my spies and preferred to return back home."
The "Caucasian Knot" has already reported that on the eve of the visit of Vladimir Putin and Dmitri Medvedev to the Rostov Region, interrogations and arrests of the activists of "The Other Russia" started in Rostov-on-Don.
On January 29, militiamen detained Sergey Volodin, a National-Bolshevik and one of coordinators of "The Other Russia" for the Rostov Region, after which the court ruled to arrest him for 5 days for minor hooliganism (obscene speech at a bus stop).
