In Sochi, Old Ritualists made a photo of the bureaucrat who had provoked fight with militia

In the Imereti Bay, Old Ritualists managed to make a photo of the official who had provoked a collision with militiamen. The photo was made on the basis of the video record of the collision. Today, the members of the community want to present the photo to the Investigatory Committee at Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation for the city of Sochi.

According to the updated information, the name of the girl who suffered on April 23 during the collision with militia and OMON is Anna Tkachenko. She explained to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that during the attack of militiamen on the residents of the Imereti Bay she started her video shooting.

"Prior to the incident, Deputy Head of Sochi Administration threatened to some of us that we may be shot at. And when I started recording, he grasped me from behind and threw on the ground. I hit my head against the cemetery fencing," Anna Tkachenko said. "He tried to take away my video camera. When militiamen started pushing our men into the bus, I saw them dragging my husband Andrei Korotun by arms and legs. I shouted at them to let him free. At that moment, that same Sochi official attacked me again: he started to strangle me and ordered militiamen to detain me as an activist. Then, I lost consciousness."

Andrei Korotun told later that the ambulance doctors refused for some 15-20 minutes to render help to his wife and waited for instructions from Sochi administration. On April 24, Anna Tkachenko filed a complaint to V. Kuchin, Head of the Investigatory Committee at the RF's Prosecutor's Office for the city of Sochi, where she described the actions of the Sochi official and inaction of the doctors.
