Olga Likhograi, a correspondent of the weekly "Our Newspaper" and the photojournalist for the publication Nikolai Solovyov, came to Kostanai court No. 2 on January 17th for the announcement the verdict in the case of Kostanai resident Zhaslan Ramazanov, who was accused of vigilanteism. Even before the verdict was announced, Ramazanov behaved aggressively. Seeing that he was being photographed, he threatened to break the "ON" correspondent's camera: "Don't film me! I'll break your camera!" The defendant only calmed down after comments from bailiffs and journalists of different media. After the verdict was announced, he pushed Olga Likhograi when leaving the courtroom, saying again: "Don't write about me! I'll deal with you!"
