Billionaire Dmitry Alekseev came forward for arrested political scientist Alexander Kinev “I understand everything about the elephant in the room and the times we live in. But you know what? Now they have released a series based on "It's Hard to Be God". Few of the Strugats remain there, but even there the persecution of the writers is presented as a blatant expression of medieval barbarism. Kinev is the same writer. A scientist who now sits in a cramped cubicle with a hole in the floor instead of a toilet. Well, those are certainly not our traditional values? Or is humanism now also a forbidden word? - Alekseev wrote on Facebook. The agency, which drew attention to his position, emphasizes that this is a rare case in which a major Russian businessman stood up for a person who was a victim of political oppression. Alexander Kinev is a well-known expert in Russian regional politics. He was arrested on drug charges on September 25. During his arrest, Kinev was beaten, breaking his tibia in two places. On October 26, it was learned that he refuses to eat at the pre-trial detention center. His lawyer stated that there are 34 other people in Kinev's cell, and the toilet is a hole in the floor; Because of his leg in a cast, Kinev can't use it. Dmitry Alekseev's DNS is one of the largest networks in Russia for the sale of digital and home appliances. Forbes magazine estimates Alekseev's fortune at $1.6 billion.
