Update from LeftEast editors: The security forces in Izhevsk (the capital of the Udmurt Republic of the Russian Federation) yesterday had second thoughts about launching a criminal case against the co-ordinator of the Russian Socialist Movement Dmitry Morozov (real surname Tsarenko, aged 21). Until that point, the activist had been questioned twice by the Center for Countering Extremism E and the Investigative Committee (CK), which had been trying to accuse him of alternately attempting to set fire to a local United Russia (‘hooliganism”) and “justifying terrorism” when speaking out at a rally in support of political prisoners of the Network case. Here is what Dmitry writes: “I was supported by a vast number of people, social and political organizations, even international ones. This act of solidarity has worked! CK and the prosecution spent two weeks deciding whether to start a criminal case against me. I just received a paper that they won’t: apparently, they don’t have any evidence. It’s time to return to the struggle. I want to thank everybody who helped!” And here is the background story, very typical of how opposition is suppressed in provincial Russian cities, prepared by Anton Kass of News.ru and translated for LeftEast by Sean Guillory.
