Journalist of "Radio Liberty" claims being attacked before "tractor march" in Kuban

In the Krasnodar Territory, the crew of the "Radio Liberty" was attacked in the town of Kropotkin, when journalists came to make reportage about a "tractor march." This was reported by journalist Sergey Khazov-Kassia on his Facebook page.

On March 28, Kropotkin was to host a meeting of participants of the protest action with the Vice-Governor of the Krasnodar Territory. Sergey Khazov-Kassia with the crew arrived in Kropotkin to highlight the "tractor march," the "Meduza" reports.

"We came there to film a farmers' march, which did not take place. Right in front of the hotel, we were attacked by men in masks. They beat us, used pepper-spray projectile against us, and all that stuff. They seized our laptop, a camera, and a backpack from Buenos Aires. Here are photos: bruises under eyes and a minivan, which brought the attackers here. Andrei believes he got his rib broken. We are waiting for the police, but they do not come here. They visited us in the morning to check whether we were in the room or not," Sergey Khazov-Kassia wrote on his Facebook page and added photos to his post.
