Earlier, ASTRA identified the man. It also now became known that he is a participant in the war with Ukraine. Ayuna, a resident of Buryatia, was “detained” during “another raid by the Moscow region police to check migration legislation,” said Alexei Tsydenov, the head of Buryatia.

“The guards of the local Cossack community decided to provide assistance to the inspectors on their own initiative. The participants of the incident have been identified. According to the law, they can only act as witnesses, and provide counteraction. Our countryman faced abuse of authority. Employees of the line department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at Belorusskaya metro station are conducting an inspection and materials regarding the guards are being transferred to the Odintsovo investigative Department of the GSU TFR of the Russian Federation for prosecution,” he wrote.

Tsydenov also advised residents of the republic to carry a passport with them due to the “turbulent situation” and increased migration control. Earlier, ASTRA found that the man in camouflage who forcefully detained a Russian woman (Buryat by nationality) at the Nemchinovka train station in the Moscow region under the pretext of “checking migrants” was Alexei Marov, an activist of the far-right “Russian Community.”

Marov’s full namesake appeared on the list of honored guests of the children’s martial arts festival in Zvenigorod near Moscow in April this year. On the website and in social networks of the Constellation of Goodness charitable foundation it is stated: “Alexey Borisovich Marov is a participant in a special military operation, a knight of the Order of Courage.”
