Russian Prosecutor General accuses ‘Right Sector’ of using social media to stage mass unrest in Russia

In a new report, Russian Prosecutor General, Yuri Chaika, has publicly accused Ukrainian nationalist group ‘Right Sector’ of attempts to use the Internet to stage mass unrest in Russia, in a bid to overthrow the Russian government.

The Prosecutor General claims that ‘Right Sector’ members used VKontakte, Russia’s leading social network, to create public pages and organize “mass riots and unsanctioned public events,” which eventually led to the blocking of these pages.
