According to Sputnik Armenia, the Investigative Committee chose a “ban on absence” as a preventive measure against Shirinyan. RIA Novosti explains that we are talking about a written undertaking not to leave the place.
Earlier, a native of Yerevan, introducing himself on social networks as Samvel Shirinyan, staged a pogrom near the monument to the children of besieged Leningrad. He knocked over wreaths and trampled a ribbon in the colors of the Russian flag, filming his actions.
The head of the Russian Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, then ordered the opening of a criminal case. According to local residents, the citizen who desecrated the monument had previously been found to be inciting Russophobia.
