Moscow Abduction Raises Concerns: Armenian Businessman Vanishes After Rosgvardiya 'Detention' A disturbing incident unfolded at Moscow's Yaroslavsky Station on June 4th, 2025, involving the alleged abduction of Armenian businessman Arek Shepikhin. According to a video circulating online, Shepikhin was seized by a group of men who identified themselves as Rosgvardiya (National Guard) officers. The video shows Shepikhin being escorted away, and later shows police stopping a Mercedes suspected of carrying him, but he was not found inside. The incident has sparked concerns about the legality of the detention and the safety of Shepikhin. "They presented themselves as Rosgvardiya," stated the video's narrator, "and took Shepikhin because of his videos insulting Chechens and Dagestanis." While the men's claims to be Rosgvardiya officers have been partially confirmed, the legality of the detention remains under investigation. The video ends with Shepikhin's location remaining unknown, leaving his fate uncertain. The incident highlights ongoing tensions and concerns regarding human rights in Russia. Authorities are investigating the matter, but the lack of clarity surrounding the incident is alarming.
