Activist from Kuschevskaya associates his beating with attempt to screen "Chaika" documentary

A local resident Artyom Martynenko has been beaten up in the village of Kuschevskaya, KrasnodarTerritory. He was attacked after trying to agree about screening the documentary by Alexei Navalny on corrupt family businesses of Russian Public Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika in a local cinema.

The attack on Artyom Martynenko was committed in the village of Kuschevskaya on December 17 and was reported by Alexei Mandrigelya, a member of the Krasnodar regional branch of the "Progress Party", on his Facebook page.

He said that the Alexei Navalny's anti-corruption fund had addressed the above regional branch of the party and asked to organize screening of the "Chaika" film in village of Kuschevskaya.

On December 17, Artyom Martynenko met the director of the cinema, who told him that he did not know whether it would be possible to rent the cinema hall, and asked to call him on the following day. 10 minutes later, when Artyom left the cinema, he was attacked – in Sovietskaya Street two unidentified men hit him several times on the head by a concrete reinforcement rod, kicked him and took away his cell phone.

According to Mandrigelya, Martynenko left Kuschevskaya, as fears for his life, but he did not turn to the police, since he has no trust in law enforcement bodies; however, he fixed the trace of beatings.
