Additional information:

Tatyana Brays, the editor-in-chief of the online newspaper Govorit Magadan, was summoned to the police station for a «preliminary conversation». As it turned out, Igor Pryanikov, the head of the Susumansky District, filed a police report against the journalist. The inspection is being carried out because of the article «Acting director of the communal service enterprise to a resident of Susuman: if you step into social networks again, I will break your legs!». It told about threats from the management of the municipal enterprise to the activist Pavel Podporin. Iryna Shelest, the head of the enterprise, filed another police report against the media — she didn’t like the fact that the journalists published her photo from the social networks.
