Slava Malakhov (Vladislav Malakhov), a St. Petersburg activist and author of the Prerevolutionary Sovetchik network community, complained to the Team Against Torture public movement (KPP; the former Committee Against Torture, which was recognized as a foreign agent and self-liquidated) about being forced into a psychiatric hospital for almost month, where, according to the activist, he was sent under pressure from the police.

The activist told human rights activists that the security forces forced him to sign a consent to be hospitalized after he ended up in the police department of the city of Tosno, Leningrad Region. There, Slava Malakhov explained, he was taken away because of a conflict with the conductor of the train, which was heading from St. Petersburg to Moscow. He spent about a day in the department, and then, under the pretext of a medical examination, the police took him to a clinic in the village of Ulyanovka.

There, according to the detainee, he was tied to a bed and spent several days in this position, and “the nurses periodically gave him injections, ignoring requests for help and questions about drugs, and forced him to drink unknown pills,” the CPT said.

Activist Malakhov also told human rights activists that during a psychological test, the director demanded that “suicidal tendencies and dementia” be indicated in the conclusion, but was refused by a specialist.

The blogger was discharged on August 7. In the medical history, the doctors indicated that he “arrived actively hallucinating in an agitated state.” On the same day, Mr. Malakhov contacted the lawyers of the checkpoint in St. Petersburg.

The head of the St. Petersburg branch of the checkpoint, Yulia Fedotova, said that from the explanations of the poet Malakhov, “one can draw conclusions about illegal hospitalization in a psychiatric hospital and abuse of power.” She stressed that in the near future the “Team” would send inquiries to all institutions where the activist was located.
