Three masked men, whose identities remain unknown, attacked the Perm office of lawyer Martin Martirosyan, a professional active in arbitration administration. The incident was shared on the Telegram channel Big Perm, making the event visible to a broad audience and raising questions about security for legal practitioners in the region.
The available description notes that the assailants were captured on CCTV footage, a detail that anchors the account in verifiable visual evidence and provides investigators with a starting point for identifying suspects and reconstructing the sequence of events.
Martirosyan later published a video through the VKontakte social network showing the aftermath of the attack. The clip makes it clear that the entrance doors sustained significant damage, with glass shattered and the doorway left exposed, underscoring the intensity of the assault and the disruption to office operations.
In the accompanying narration, the lawyer stated that a directive had been issued to attack his office. The arbitration administrator added that one of the attackers used a mobile phone to record the incident, intending to furnish evidence for a client at a later stage, a detail that could influence forthcoming legal proceedings and client communications.
“We are awaiting police arrival,” the lawyer said, a reminder that formal security and legal procedures would now take precedence as authorities gather statements, review footage, and determine the motive behind the incident.
In June 2024, another violent event unfolded when the bailiffs department in Volzhsky, a city in the Volgograd region, was set on fire. An unidentified assailant threw a Molotov cocktail at the window of a five-story building, igniting a blaze that damaged part of the structure and disrupted operations within the department.
There were no reports of injuries in the Volzhsky incident, according to initial information. Inside the fire-damaged office, only a cabinet and the window sill appeared to have burned, highlighting the focused nature of the damage and the potential intent to intimidate rather than to cause extensive destruction.
Earlier, reports from the Omsk region described youths throwing a Molotov cocktail toward a Mi-8 helicopter, an act that added to a broader pattern of violence involving aerial assets and public institutions in some parts of the country, though details about motive and outcomes remained limited at the time of reporting.
