As it became known to RT, Nightingale is related to the publication of conspiracy fakes in the Telegram channel "General SVR", including about the Russian president, officials of various levels and intelligence officers.
This channel was created in September 2020.
The author of "General of the SVR" claims that he has "connections" in law enforcement agencies, but, according to RT, the Kharkiv lawyer Viktor Yermolaev is the channel's administrator.
The RT source also said that the house of the political scientist Nightingale was searched as part of the case of inciting hatred or enmity (part 2 of article 282).
Nightingale's wife said that after the search, her husband and their son were taken to the Investigative Committee as witnesses in a criminal case.
