Masked gunmen stormed the offices of Russian propagandists – video

On the afternoon of May 19, armed men in camouflage uniforms and masks raided a building on 1905 Street in Moscow. 

This was reported by Moskovsky Komsomolets. It is known that the editorial office of this well-known propaganda publication is located in this very building.

According to available information, the unknown individuals behaved extremely rudely, flatly refused to present any documents to security, and threatened to break down the entrance doors and turnstiles. The media outlet’s editor-in-chief, Pavel Gusev, clarified that the men were carrying sledgehammers. According to him, they proceeded to the third floor of the building, where a third-party office of a private firm is located.

The publication’s head called the incident a strange and incomprehensible situation, as no official explanations have yet been received from Russian law enforcement agencies. There are no reports of injuries among journalists or other employees at the facility, as they clearly did not interest the suspected raiders, unlike the firm’s office.

Russian propagandist Margarita Simonyan stated that she had attempted suicide amid personal tragedies.

Russian propagandist Margarita Simonyan publicly criticized singer Alla Pugacheva, making a series of harsh statements during an interview. Her remarks caused a public outcry in the Russian media.
