Additional information:

The journalist was subjected to pressure and threats during a visit to a nursing home for the elderly and disabled in the Oktyabrskoye village. During the interview with the director, one of the nursing home residents came to the journalist and started complaining about the poor conditions. The journalist started recording his complaints on her phone. Suddenly, the director snatched the phone from her and demanded to delete the video and photos and stay in the nursing home and write a positive article. The guard blocked the journalist at the door, trying not to let her out of the building. A cab driver, hired by the editorial office for the trip, came running at the ensuing noise. He helped the woman get out of the building and get into the car.
