“Together with a neighbor, we made a list of Soviet classic films that we will watch on the New Year,” said Safronov, one of the commission members who visited the arrested man in the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center.

According to the human rights activist, “Ivan looked cheerful, said that he had received many letters and parcels with food, and that there would be something to celebrate the holiday, although quail eggs from friends were not accepted, but in the pre-trial detention center eggs are not accepted at all, in other detention centers they can be ordered online - shops, but there is no such possibility in Lefortovo. "

Safronov, according to a member of the PMC, also said that he had adapted in six months to a pre-trial detention center, but, of course, regretted that he would first celebrate the New Year away from his family.

On December 17, the Moscow City Court recognized as legal the extension of the arrest of the adviser to the head of Roscosmos, ex-journalist of Kommersant and Vedomosti, Ivan Safronov, who is accused of treason.
