Activist Alexander Poskonnyi was violently attacked by Russian police during the Victory Day parade on May 9, according to a report by OVD-Info media outlet.
The incident happened after police spotted Poskonnyi exiting the Tverskata metro station holding a Ukrainian flag.
Poskonnyi claims that the police beat him twice, first during the arrest and later in a police van. He also stated that the police threatened him with a sentence on "extremism" charges.
Despite his release from the police station, the activist received a record accusing him of discrediting the Russian army.
