translation from contrainfo:
On February 9th, 2012, at 6.30 in the morning in the area of ‘FIAN’ institute, a janitor found the body of Nikita Kalin, born in 1991. At 8.00 police arrived, and at 11.00 the cops finally contacted the mother of the murdered. According to his mother, Nikita was stabbed 61 times; besides this, his ribs were fractured multiple times, and head was wounded as well. No property was stolen. Currently, a suspect of the murder is arrested, as blood of Nikita was found in clothes of the arrested.
It is obvious that Nikita was attacked by a group. Police also told to the mother (off the record) that the detained suspect is a national socialist activist (neo-Nazi), and refuses to name any other suspects. Despite the murder’s brutality, investigation has still not questioned, neither Nikita’s mother, nor his friends, who was the last person who saw him. Due to this fact, we presume that there will be an attempt to cover up the case, as it often happens in Russia. However, the suspect has already hired a lawyer.
We fear that police investigation is already working in defense of the arrestee’s interests, thus your support is necessary. At this point, a human rights organization has provided a lawyer, but funds are still needed for funeral costs. Nikita was from a simple working class family, and never hid his antifascist and anarchist views. If you want to help his friends and family to raise funeral costs, you may donate to Anarchist Black Cross of Moscow, here.
