In May, Moscow's Basmanny District Court issued a default arrest warrant for Latvian IT specialist Viesturs Kavacs in a criminal case over damage to a Soviet monument.
Mediazona stated this in an article, Ukrinform reports .
In late February 2022, after the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Kavacs posted a video on his social media showing him striking one of the monuments at the memorial to Soviet soldiers-liberators of Riga in Pardaugava with a hammer.
"Everyone needs to lend a hand so the work can move forward," he said.
It is noted that the local police later detained the Latvian man on suspicion of vandalism, but nothing was reported about his дальнейшая fate.
