The group of the Pavlodar city Pavlo detka posted on Instagram the material of the portal Ratel.kz «How two restless brothers shock Pavlodar» from 04.09.2021. The material by Olga Voronko tells about a man who sets fire to the cars of his ex-wives. On September 5, the subject of the publication addressed the administrator of the group. Citizen V. promised to «deal» with the administrator of the group, if the material is not removed, and he asked to tell the author of the material Olga Voronko that he would file a complaint with the prosecutor’s office: «Exactly on her, exactly for the personal qualities affected. It was from there that my friends wrote to me about what you did. No, really, I’m not trying to show off. Let the man know I’m gonna get it anyway. Through the prosecutor’s office. It’s a very serious organisation».
