The owner of the DNS group of companies, Dmitry Alekseev, one of the richest people in Russia, expressed concern about the arrest of political scientist Alexander Kinev (recognized by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation as a foreign agent on February 20, 2026). On his Facebook (an extremist organization whose activities are banned in the territory of the Russian Federation), he compared the situation to the persecution of writers from the Strugatsky brothers' novel "It's Hard to Be God". Alekseev noted that Kinev (recognized by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation as a foreign agent on February 20, 2026), a scientist by profession, found himself in a cramped cell with terrible conditions. He was surprised that such things happen in a modern society that should value traditional values ​​and humanism. Okay, he hasn't been able to teach for a long time, okay, he's been declared a foreign agent. But after the elections in September 2026 he was accused of a very strange charge of attempted large-scale drug trafficking. Moreover, after his arrest it became clear that his tibia was broken in two places. But his mishaps did not end there either. After spending some time in the "Matroskaya Tishina" hospital, he was transferred with his leg in a cast to a general cell of 34 people, which, according to the lawyer, is too crowded. As you understand, he has no crutches or cane, but that's not all. The toilet in the cell is a hole in the floor, and Kinev (recognized by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation as a foreign agent on February 20, 2026), with his leg in a cast, is physically unable to use it. According to Alekseev, Kinev (recognized by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation as a foreign agent on February 20, 2026) stopped eating without going on a hunger strike, but simply because he could not do so under these conditions.
