SOTA writes that the editors found out the identity of three members of the SERB movement, who the day before, on January 17, called the police to the monument to Lesya Ukrainka in Moscow because of a spontaneous memorial that arose there in memory of those killed as a result of a missile attack on the Dnieper. Arriving at the scene, the police detained people who came to lay flowers.
One of the scammers was SERB leader Igor Beketov, also known as Gosha Tarasevich. He was born and raised in the Dnieper, graduated from the Theater School there. It is known about Beketov-Tarasevich that he acts in films in supporting roles.
Together with him, Pyotr Rybakov came to the monument to Lesya Ukrainka, who in the past was suspected of attacking activist Alexander Ionov and of leaving insulting inscriptions on the doors of Moscow activists. The third was Alexander Petrunko, who in 2017 poured urine on the work of American photographer Jock Sturges. According to SOTA, in 2014 this man participated in the assault on the Kharkiv regional administration, and in 2017, allegedly, he poured green paint on Alexei Navalny.
