Lyashko's deputies beat up “troll” Alexei Durnev
In Chernigov, Verkhovna Rada deputies from Oleg Lyashko’s party - Igor Mosiychuk and Andrey Lozovoy - beat up the notorious TV presenter Alexei Durnev. It was he who, several years ago, handed a carrot to the current Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk in front of a television camera.
Today's beating took place in the hall before the start of Lyashko's press conference.

Mosiychuk, Lozovoy, as well as the young gopnik-looking people helping them, knocked Durnev to the floor, after which they began to kick him. Then he was dragged out of the hall.
Durnev's associates were also injured in the brawl, including former adviser to the Minister of Information Policy Alexander Baraboshko , known to PolitNavigator readers ; he had a tooth knocked out.
Baraboshko and Durnev in Chernigov are involved in the elections as technical candidates; they are commissioned to engage in “trolling” and discredit some of the main participants in the election race.
Mosiychuk subsequently made it clear on Facebook that the beating of Durnev was revenge for the provocation he organized - he had previously spread information that Lyashko was planning to hold a gay pride parade in Chernigov.
After the press conference, Lyashko left the scene of the incident under guard.
