Aide to Russian MP Detained in Riots Case

An aide to Russian State Duma opposition deputy Ilya Ponomaryov has been detained in last year’s riots case, investigators have said. “During mass disorders, Dmitry Rukavishnikov was pushing overturned portable toilets in the direction of police officers, which resulted in the property being damaged and becoming unfit for use,” the Investigative Committee said Tuesday. “By this, Rukavishnikov created obstacles in the way of law enforcement officers. Rukavishnikov’s participation in mass disorders is confirmed by a video recording, witness testimony and other case materials,” the committee said. Investigators said Rukavishnikov is the head of a Left Front branch in the Ivanovo Region.
