On Moscow's Nemtsov Bridge, liberals attacked Sergei Rulev
Liberals, standing near a makeshift memorial at the site of the murder of their idol Boris Nemtsov in the center of Moscow, attacked blogger and reporter Sergei Rulev, who was filming.
“The camera caught three people eating chips and talking to each other. Seeing me, a large man about 40 years old began to be indignant - “why are you filming us?” “I want to and I’m filming,” was the answer. After this, a verbal altercation ensued, during which the big guy tried to come closer to me than arm’s length, and I constantly moved back, all the time warning the attacker about maintaining social distance and warning about the possible use of personal protective equipment.
I took out a gas canister for repelling dogs “Anti Dog Torch” (aerosol protection against aggressive animals) and defiantly showed it to the big guy. The man stopped chasing me and began calling his friends for help, asking them to call the police.
The man with the face of an alcoholic began to confidently make phone calls, and the third gopnik began to be indignant at my behavior. Very quickly, guards from the 2nd police regiment came up and took me under their protection, although the gopnik with a working smartphone was constantly trying to approach me with incomprehensible aggressive intentions.
The police called a car and we were taken in different cars to the Kitay-Gorod police station. There I wrote a statement about the crime and gave an explanation to the police captain.
The gopnik who attacked me remained to explain how “on the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge in Moscow, an inadequate citizen attacked him, threatened him with a tear gas canister and at the same time swore obscenely.”
Hooligans and gopniks always complain to the police how they are attacked by pensioners of the Russian Defense Ministry who are 30 years older than them and 20 kg lighter in weight,” Rulev said.
