Incidents

Self-immolated by Irina Slavina

On the afternoon of October 2, 2020, opposition journalist and activist Irina Slavina committed an act of self-immolation near the building of the main department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast (opposite the Gorkovskaya metro station).[1] She did this against the actions of the Nizhny Novgorod police, who searched her associates in the Open Russia case. Irina herself acted there as a witness and never came under criminal prosecution. She herself wrote on her Facebook page;[2]

 

I ask you to blame the Russian Federation for my death

Irina has been preparing for this step for a long time, as evidenced by her publication on June 20, 2019 on her Facebook page.[3]

 

Interestingly, if I arrange an act of self-immolation near the FSB entrance (or the city's prosecutor's office, I don't know yet), will this at least bring our state closer to a bright future, or will my sacrifice be meaningless? I think it's better to die like my grandmother from cancer at 52.
