The victim, together with three other men, was detained and severely beaten by men in black uniforms (he supposes, OMON) in the prison van. He was further ill-treated and beaten at Leninsky ROVD. There were approx. 20 people detained in the gym and were forced to kneel in a specific position.

As the result, the victim suffered a traumatic brain injury and brain concussion. He was taken to hospital due to heavy bleeding where he was operated on and hospitalized at the neurosurgery department.
