Kalinovskaya states pressure after her speech at Sochi rally
After the residents of the Imereti Lowland, whose houses happened to get into the zone of Olympic construction, took an active part in a rally in Sochi, Natalia Kalinovskaya, chair of the local self-government partnership named "Psou", felt pressure from the authorities.
At the rally, Ms Kalinovskaya addressed the authorities with a demand "to take hands away from Sochi residents and Sochi children and stop saying lies and perverting the sense of events!"
On December 12, the Kuban NTK television channel showed a report from the rally on December 6. According to Natalia, the protesters were presented as greedy speculators, bargaining with the authorities for buy-out of their land plots. She said that the words and utterances of the people were abridged and quoted in such a manner that the sense of the event was completely distorted.
The NTK videoed and showed Natalia Kalinovskaya's house, accused her of deliberate heating up the discontent of Imereti residents, stating that she wears diamonds, puts in plastic window units that she was convicted, and now runs her PR campaign on the eve of deputy elections.
According to Natalia Kalinovskaya, she plans to address the public prosecutor and the court for compensation of moral harm and official refutation of discrediting information.
