A well-known journalist for Russia's top independent radio station was stabbed in the throat Monday by an attacker who burst into her studio the latest in a string of attacks on journalists and opposition activists in Moscow. The man distracted the security guard on an entrance, showing him the scheme.
"The man came here on goal". The station's journalists often receive death threats, according to the Times, and Felganhauer had been singled out in the state-owned television report as a foreign agent who championed "pro-Western positions" and "anti-government policies".
Ekho later named the alleged assailant as Boris Grits.
Representatives of the press service of the department told that during the detention Grits had a auto driver license which helped to identify personality of the detainee quickly and to establish that he has dual citizenship - Russian Federation and Israel. Grits has pleaded guilty to harming Felgengauer, but said he had no intention of killing her, according to the investigator. The committee said he would remain in custody and undergo a psychiatric expertise.

Rao noted that Infosys' sequential revenue growth in the quarter was significantly higher than that of its peers. Infosys's ADRs were trading down 3.5 percent at 1550 GMT after earlier dipping almost 5 percent.
She has been rushed to hospital but there are varying reports of her condition circulating around Russian media.
The spokesman for the Russian Prosecutor General's Office described the attack as "outrageous" and said its prosecutors will investigate the case closely.
The attack follows reports on state-run television earlier this month that Ekho Moskvy conspired with USA state-funded media to shape a pro-Western narrative ahead of the 2018 presidential elections.
The station's editor in chief, however, said there were still questions about the attacker's motivations, and he cited recent threats and attacks on journalists in Russian Federation.
