One of the coordinators of the action, parliament member Egor Sobolev, stated this in his blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to him, the man was detained by the camp guards along with the police.
“He allegedly dressed in a military suit, which is actually a fisherman’s suit, and came with a dummy sniper rifle that can shoot bullets at a distance of 50-100 meters. He was detained by the camp guards along with the National Police...Two technologies will now be used against the camp. One technology is that they will send people like this... The second technology is worse - so that they start shooting at the camp or at law enforcement officers,” Sobolev said.
When the police searched the alleged provocateur, they also found a pistol and a walkie-talkie in his possession. Whether it is combat or also pneumatic is to be determined by ballistic examination. The guy was detained and taken to the police station.
