Additional information:
A law enforcement officer climbed through the balcony into journalist Roman Kupriyanov's flat to conduct a search. He held Kupriyanov's head with his foot and asked who ordered the video about the governor. The question was about the publication of an audio recording by the news outlet Abazhur in which a man whose voice was similar to that of the governor of the Kemerovo Region, Sergey Tsivilev, promises to «scapegoat» those who write complaints to the Prosecutor's Office. During a search of the flat, where the journalist's mother also lives, all the equipment was seized.
