Radio News: Russian radio journalist attacked

Oct 23, 2017 10:09 pm
The Guardian reports that on Oct. 23 the deputy editor of the Ekho Moskvy radio station, Tatyana Felgenhauer, was stabbed in the neck in the station’s studios in central Moscow. Felgenhauer is expected to survive and is in a Russian hospital. The attacker was Boris Grits, a 48-year-old with dual Russian and Israeli citizenship who wrote online that the radio host was “following” him in his mind. "Russian media also showed leaked footage, apparently from the interrogation of Grits, in which he said he had never met Felgenhauer but she had made telepathic contact with him over the past five years," The Guardian reported. But Alexei Venediktov, the station’s editor-in-chief, said it might not just be the attack of a mentally ill person. “He knew things he shouldn’t have known. How did he know Tanya would still be here? By the time of the attack, she would normally have left. There are many questions,” Venediktov said. Earlier this month, Russian state television said Ekho Moskvy and Felgenhauer were working to advance foreign interests in Russia before presidential elections next March.
