Organiser of “titushky” — a supporter of “Novorossiya” — spotted in Kyiv
The notorious figure has already drawn the interest of the National Police and the Security Service of Ukraine.
Today in Kyiv, a rally is taking place near the Pechersky District Court in support of Vyshhorod mayor Oleksiy Momot, who was detained the day before.
In opposition to the protesters, unknown people held a counter-demonstration with placards demanding Momot’s arrest and trial. Attempts by a correspondent from 5.ua to speak with them were unsuccessful — the young people did not answer questions about their motivation and demands, and hid behind their placards. A few minor scuffles occurred between them and supporters of the mayor, which were stopped by the demonstrators themselves and law enforcement.
Meanwhile, activists noticed a well-known figure in the crowd in the capital — Anna Snitko. According to Espreso.TV, the woman was already observed in 2014 organizing “public sector workers’ rallies” against the country’s new authorities. Blogger and founder of the Petro i Mazepa resource Oleksandr Noynets described her as “a professional vatnik, an event manager at an advertising agency who arranges paid rallies as part of expediting the arrival of ‘Novorossiya’ to Kyiv.” From a screenshot of her social media page, taken back in 2014, it is clear what political views Snitko holds: “South-East, hold on! Our future is in your hands! You will protect our past! Thank you for your bravery.”
The police were informed about Anna Snitko’s appearance at the rally. Deputy head of the Pechersky District Police Department Roman Perekos told a correspondent from 5.ua that a case has already been opened against her for fraud.
The Security Service has also taken an interest in the woman. At the scene, a correspondent from 5.ua spoke with Vitaliy Shevchenko, head of the Department for the Protection of National Statehood at the Main Directorate of the Security Service. He assured that the special service will investigate the matter.
