“Russian Community” treats incident involving Chechens in Lyublino as provocation

Activists of the “Russian Community” Movement acted legally in Lyublino and didn’t try to detain Chechen children, but they themselves fell victim to a provocation, the movement's coordinator has stated.

A video appeal of the “Russian Community” was posted late in the evening on June 22 in its Telegram channel. "One of our coordinators, Andrei Tkachuk, on attempts to denigrate the ‘Russian Community’," the video's annotation says.

In the video footage, a man addresses his comrades in the "Russian Community", assuring them that "we are working absolutely legally."

Some spoffish women are slandering us.

"Nobody is kidnapping anyone anywhere, it's all fiction. They are sending all sorts of ‘torpedoes’ at us, some drug addicts who are given money so that they will yelp from somewhere under the deck. Some women are slandering us, they are hectic; they run into the streets and start shouting that someone is allegedly trying to steal some children and touch them. None of this happened. These are all, naturally, provocations that are now pouring on us like a horn of plenty. Be patient, work calmly, you are doing everything legally, because all we do is help authorities restore order in our yards and streets," said an activist of the "Russian Community" in the video.

In another video, posted late on June 22 in the YouTube channel of the "Russian Community", Andrei Tkachuk commented on the video recorded at the venue of the conflict in the Moscow Lyublino District. "Here we have a clear, well-thought-out provocation aimed at inciting ethnic hatred," he has stated.

Enemy publics have immediately begun dispersing the wild version.

According to Andrei Tkachuk, activists of the "Russian Community" arrived after calling the police and receiving a message that "the patrol unit was already on its way to the venue."

"We came to the yard and asked the TikTokers who were making noise and filming their dancing to wait for the police. And we also asked everyone who was present at the site not to go anywhere and wait until the patrol unit arrived. However, some loud ‘woman coming from mountains’ began pumping out some statements inciting hatred; and enemy publics immediately began spreading the wild version, like ‘they beat up and wanted to kidnap children.’ Well, aren't you laughing at it yourselves?" Tkachuk asked in the video. He gave no comment on Ibragim Islamov's offer to meet.
