Lying Putin Says Russian Cops Don’t Beat People For No Reason. So What About These Videos?

In a Feb. 26 interview, Andrey Vandenko of the state-owned TASS news agency asked Russian President Vladimir Putin about incidents in which riot police beat protesters with their nightsticks. He cited the case of Daria Sosnovskaya, a 26-year-old Moscow city council deputy, who was punched by police during her arrest at an August 2019 protest calling for fair elections.
“Nobody resorts to swinging a nightstick for no reason,” Putin responded, adding:
“If people act within the existing rules and laws, who’s going to even swing a nightstick?”
That is misleading.
In fact, there have been many documented cases of Russian police using violence, including with nightsticks, to break up opposition protests.
Video taken at a Sep. 9, 2018 demonstration in St. Petersburg against pension reforms shows riot police driving a crowd of people before them. One policeman hits a retreating woman with his nightstick.
