Case summary
Twitch streamer, participant of the 23 January 2021 rally in support of Alexei Navalny. He told OVD-Info that on February 14th 2021, when he was in a bar, officers in plain clothes approached him and started asking why he had beaten policemen at the rally on January 23rd. He was then detained on suspicion of being under the influence of drugs. On the bus, the officer in plain clothes shouted at him and poked him in the face with his ID card. Bagniuk does not rule out that he could have pushed him away and believes that this was the reason for the case. On June 15th 2021, he was sentenced to a fine of 15 thousand rubles.
