Moscow police detained nationalists at the reception of the Federal Penitentiary Service
Moscow police detained nationalists who were planning to hold an unauthorized rally today near the reception building of the Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) on Tsvetnoy Boulevard.
The arrests began at the metro station after the press secretary of the Association of Popular Resistance, Nikita Zaitsev, told reporters about the essence of the action. Zaitsev himself and about 30 other people were detained.
The nationalists intended to lay flowers at the reception of the Federal Penitentiary Service in memory of Maxim Martsinkevich, nicknamed Tesak, who recently died in prison, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Previously, Moscow authorities rejected 4 applications to hold nationalist “Russian marches” on November 4. It is significant that in addition to the nationalists, the right-wing liberal party Parnas asked Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin to allow the laying of flowers.
During Tesak's funeral on October 3, increased security measures were taken at the cemetery, and police were on duty. Some of those who came to say goodbye had tattoos and jewelry with visible fascist symbols.
The official version of Martsinkevich's death is suicide. However, Tesak's entourage does not believe in her.
Martsinkevich was 36 years old. The nationalist was known as the author of the “Occupy-pedophilia” and “Occupy-narcophilia” campaigns, during which he and his associates attacked alleged pedophiles and drug dealers, and then humiliated them in front of a camera and posted the videos online.
He also led the organizations “Restrukt” and “Format-18” (banned in the Russian Federation). Martsinkevich was convicted three times of extremist crimes.
