Additional information:

“I was stopped at the Sheremetyevo airport. They took my phones somewhere and did not return them for a long time. Now they will conduct a questioning," wrote Dobrokhotov on his Twitter at night. A little later, he added that he was asked to put his mobile phones on the table even before the questioning. Police said that he could not bring phones inside. Five minutes later, the journalist tried to return to pick them up but did not find where he left them. The phones were returned in half an hour. Dobrokhotov believes that the only reason for the detention is an attempt to gain access to phones.
