On Friday, February 18, Izvestia obtained footage of a search at the home of political scientist Valery Solovyov, who is a witness in a case of extremism.
During the searches in the apartment of the political scientist, schemes for administering information resources, as well as means of communication, were confiscated.
On February 16, Nightingale was summoned for questioning to the Investigative Committee in a criminal case under part 2 of Art. 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Incitement of hatred or enmity, as well as humiliation of human dignity”), this is due to Solovey’s support for the General SVR Telegram channel, whose publications are aimed at inciting hatred against Russian authorities.
It was noted that Nightingale conducted live broadcasts with the allegedly former general of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (SVR) “Viktor Mikhailovich”, whom he represented as the channel’s administrator. In fact, the pseudo-expert is a Ukrainian lawyer Viktor Yermolaev.
In September 2020, Nightingale was detained at an unauthorized rally organized by him in the center of Moscow. In December 2020, the political scientist was arrested for 10 days for organizing an unauthorized rally in St. Petersburg. Later, Nightingale was fined 20 thousand rubles for spreading false information about the victims of the coronavirus in Russia.
Valery Solovey is a political scientist, former head of the public relations department at MGIMO, and an opposition activist. In June 2019, Solovey announced that he had left MGIMO for political reasons and said that he would be grateful if he was no longer associated with the institute.
