Trade representative. He told Taiga.info that at night he was trying to paint over the Latin letter "Z", which was in place of the Cyrillic "Z" in the inscription "Zheleznogorsk" in the park near the forest area. An unknown person approached him from behind, Balyasin brushed him off and he fell down. It turned out that it was a group of law enforcers in civilian clothes, but with batons and service weapons.
