The sister of a Russian arrested in Poland said that he is interested in taking pictures of trains. He was accused of espionage because of the train photo. The Russian arrested in Poland for photographing trains turned out to be a checkered Alexander, said his sister Ksenia Sukhorova. The arrest of a 55-year-old Russian citizen in the city of Schwednica, Lower Silesia district, became known on October 30. According to the police, they found in his possession "hundreds of thousands of files" indicating that he photographs trains and critical rail and transportation infrastructure. He was accused of espionage and arrested. "Those who know Sasha understand how absurd and frightening this accusation sounds. Photographing train transportation has been his longtime hobby, since his youth. His Facebook page has millions of pictures of trains, trains and planes. This is his hobby, and not some kind of secret activity," wrote Ksenia Sukhorokova on her Facebook. According to her, Shabetz was in Poland on a work trip and stopped communicating on the evening of October 25. After his arrest he was not given the opportunity to call his family. The family is now in contact with the Russian Embassy. "According to them, Sasha's case is not an isolated case," writes his sister.
