On the morning of July 8, security forces conducted raids at Syktyvkar's independent cultural venue "Revolt Center" and at the homes of its staff members, "from management to coffee shop workers," according to reports from the Telegram channel "New Republic."
A source speaking to "Nova Europe" verified the searches at the "Revolt Center." The informant mentioned that authorities had raised concerns regarding Pavel Andreev—a co-founder of both the 7x7 magazine and the Revolt Center—though it remains unclear whether this was the official justification for the operation.
According to Sever.Realii, the raids are linked to an investigation under charges of "state treason." In connection with the case, FSB agents reportedly interrogated a former 7x7 employee as a witness.
