“There I saw several cars of the National Guard, police cars and paddy wagons. Passing by the metro station, I noticed how police officers approached random passers-by and got into their backpacks and pockets. Almost immediately, two police officers approached me and stopped me, demanding to see the contents of my backpack. I stopped, inquired about the reason for their demand and said that I considered their demand illegal. After my polite refusal, I was surrounded by several more police officers and several OMON officers,” he says.
After he refused to show the contents of his backpack and pockets, he was searched and his phone, passport and notebook with notes were taken away. “In my notebook they found some kind of colored sticker — I didn’t have time to see what kind of sticker it was, since I hadn’t used this notebook for several months.
