Noting that this is a “bureaucracy”, Ponasenkov added that he plans to make a statement about the attempted murder of the man.
“Absolutely vain work and bestiality. Everything on the cameras shows us being attacked by a dirty, aggressive drunkard. And we’re going to file an attempted murder case for threatening to kill. And you can only see it on camera chasing us and swinging. We have the most important thing – it’s a video camera, we threw it away from us, because it wobbled and was ready to do harm, so to speak. So there is nothing to talk about. As a culture-creator, you should all be concerned with my plight. I am a strong person, everything is fine with me. “This is an empty case, bureaucracy, so to speak,” he said.
Ponasenkov also stressed that the police had no complaints against him.
