In Krasnodar, "Solidarity" activist stabbed because of his anti-Putin inscription

In the Krasnodar Territory, Viktor Chirikov, an activist of the movement "Solidarity", was attacked and got a stab wound because of the inscription he made on the rear window of his car.

The incident occurred on October 14 on the highway between Krasnodar and the Lenin farm yard.

According to Viktor Chirikov, he was attacked by two unidentified men, when he stopped his car on the highway in the place, where he used to make a stop for his work. "Two men approached me, one from the driver's seat, and the other from the opposite side. At first, they used swear words to say that I should not have written the phrase: 'Putin, go away' on the rear window of my car. I told them that I had every right to write that phrase," said Viktor Chirikov as quoted by the "Novaya Gazeta".

According to the activist, after that, one of the attackers tried to suddenly stab him through the open car window; however, the activist had time to put his hand forward, and thus, he got a stab wound to his hand. After that, according to Viktor Chirikov, he managed to escape from the attackers in his car.

The activist did not go to the police. Viktor Chirikov believes it has no sense, since his former complains about attacks did not bring any results, the "Kasparov.ru" reports.
