In Krasnoyarsk, on suspicion of participating in the activities of an “extremist” organization, producer of educational projects Elena Matushevskaya was detained, reports Novaya Gazeta Europe, citing Govorit neMoskva. She is accused of donating to the FBK.

As journalists note, in recent years Matushevskaya lived in Serbia, and came to Krasnoyarsk on business.

Today she is to be transferred to Tomsk, and tomorrow a court hearing there will be held to choose a preventive measure.
