Maria Tikhanova is a 4th-year student at the Directing Department of the Institute of Contemporary Art in Moscow and a citizen of Belarus. She was walking behind Nina Baginskaya, who was giving an interview to a media organization. Maria was making a documentary about Baginskaya. A police officer came behind Tikhanova, grabbed her by the neck and head and dragged her off.
