The director of the Moscow-based Library of Ukrainian Literature, Natalya Sharina, who is a suspect in a case opened into the spreading of extremist literature, refuses to admit her guilt.
Searches were conducted at the Library of Ukrainian Literature on October 28. Library director Natalya Sharina was detained shortly afterwards.
A criminal case has been opened against Sharina on suspicion of "fomenting interethnic hatred and enmity, as well as humiliating human dignity," he said.
The case was opened after investigators found out that the library offered its customers a book by Dmytro Korchynsky, which a Russian court had earlier qualified as extremist and banned the use and circulation of.
