An unknown young man in black cloth and baseball cap pulled on his eyes. He has overpassed, suddenly this young man attacked Guzyal Baidalinova back and stabbed her with his sharp object. There was a sense jab, prior to blood. The plotter has mentioned her by name, cried that she was tainted.

Guzyal Baidalinova has believed that it was next attempt to intimidate her; in spite of threats on the part of plain-clothes officers, journalists and editorial workers of the closed newspaper“Golos Respubliki” did not fold their hands and they launched the new project - “R-studio”.

- It was not just the first attempt to intimidate our journalists and editorial workers, but there were simply only oral threats,- noted with regard to this incident editor-in-chief of the media group “Respublika” Irene Petrushova. -Now , it looks as security service agents decided to resort to physical compulsion. This means that tomorrow should we wait for beating of people near the porches of their houses as it was with Lukpan Akhmedyarov? I would like to believe that before still will not come.
