Scandal of the day: "I came to understand what the hell is going on here" in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky On November 2, a scandal broke out surrounding a private house where the National Guard used to house military personnel. It all started when one of the servicemen who was in a private house managed to contact his relatives and report that he felt ill. Relatives called a private ambulance, but the doctors were not allowed to enter the area. The ambulance team then contacted the police. The police officially denied information about 40 hostages in the house, illegal detention of people and death of a person. Soon there were claims of torture, beatings and dozens of hostages in the basement. Relatives claimed that the condition of the servants was difficult. The ambulance doctor even knelt down demanding to be let inside. Later there were reports of four men requiring hospitalization. A crowd gathered near the building. People tried to knock down the gate and demanded to release the people inside. Foam was sprayed at the protesters and tear gas was reported to have been used. The clashes continued and a police car was damaged. National Guard Commander Alexander Pivanenko arrived at the scene. According to reports from the scene, he explained that the building was used for temporary reception and registration of recruits before being sent for training. Four servicemen who had previously left their units without permission were transferred to a medical center. Another 18 people, he said, were in a satisfactory condition. Then Kirill Budanov arrived to "figure out what the hell is going on here." Budanov was reported to have communicated with people, helped extricate a damaged police car to make way for a bus, and then called on the protesters to disperse. "14 people were held in a building on Petropavlovska Borshagovka. But there are no more hostages at home," he said. A separate scandal is the story of a boy born in 2011.
