Additional information:

Sorokin’s flat was searched in a libel case (Article 128.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The blogger, who had recently undergone cardiological surgery, was hospitalised with a heart attack. The law enforcers seized equipment, flash drives, and documents related to anti-corruption investigations. Presumably, the victim in the libel case is Yelena Zubova, the deputy of the Barabinsky district and a member of the Rodina party.
