Between October and December, police intervened in several instances of “organization of criminal elements and prevented attempts at violence,” she said.
In a later stage, the Kremlin planned to use “diversionists with military training, camouflaged in civilian clothes, who would undertake violent action, carry out attacks on buildings of state institutions or even take hostages,” she said.
