The police of Arkhangelsk have not found extremism in the comments made by Vladimir Tolgsky, a journalist of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company who suggested shooting the participants of a rally in support of politician Alexei Navalny, the SOTA Media Outlet reports.

Several residents of Arkhangelsk complained to the police about a comment of Vladimir Tolgsky, a regional TV channel’s journalist, on Instagram about the rallies:

"I suppose it was necessary to shoot them. Just like in their beloved America. There is no cure for stupidity. It was not us who said that."

Residents of Arkhangelsk asked to check this statement for violation of Article 20.3.1 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation (Incitement to Hatred or Enmity, as well as Violation of Human Dignity).
