North Ossetia was outraged by the statements of designer Artemy Lebedev

The social movement of the Supreme Council of Ossetians “Styr Nykhas” sent a statement to the head of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin and Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov. Social activists are demanding that blogger and designer Artemy Lebedev be held accountable for insulting the feelings of victims of the Beslan terrorist attack and that he be required to make a public apology.

The statement says that the children and grandchildren of former hostages defend the interests of the Russian Federation at the North Military District, and “a blogger of highly educated parents visits NATO member countries that have declared war on Russia.”

In his interview with Dudya Lebedev, he called “x@@@_th” the work of the “Mothers of Beslan” and “Voice of Beslan” committees, which have been helping the families of victims of the terrorist attack for 20 years, the complaint says.

The head of North Ossetia, Sergei Menyailo, speaking about Lebedev, said that “when “frostbitten people try to talk about human pain, about the grief faced by a mother who has lost a child, it turns out disgusting.”

“Mothers of Beslan” reacted to Artemy Lebedev’s interview. A representative of the organization, Aneta Gadieva, believes that he is mentally abnormal if he allows himself to say such things. According to her, he hates the “Mothers of Beslan” because he considers them weak.
