Additional information:

Film crews of Zapad24 and TV-Nazarovo arrived at the territory of the former Selmash plant to record illegal actions to eliminate the landfill. A former police officer, and now, as he said, the owner of this territory, learned that the machinery that was dumping rubbish in the trenches was being filmed by photo and video cameras. The man, who first introduced himself as a security guard of the plant and then as the owner of the entire land plot, tried to force his way to the cameraman to smash the camera and injure the media representative, which he claimed he did, but fortunately, he did not succeed. Later, he headed towards the Zapad24 correspondent but was also stopped and did not manage to harm either the journalist or the expensive equipment.
