Additional information:

In Orsk, a policeman came to work to the mother of Maksim Kondratyev, the founder of the Avtozak LIVE project, who left Russia. The law enforcement officer told her that he had an order from Orenburg to question the activist’s mother. Before that, Kondratyev’s mother also received a call from the police in Orenburg. They said that Kondratyev had allegedly applied for a lost passport in May, although he had left Russia back in March and had not returned. The policeman refused to talk to Kondratyev himself, but then asked the activist’s mother for his phone number or his Telegram nickname.
