After having been beaten up severely by three men a few days ago in Moscow, Melodiya’s General Manager Andrei Krichevsky has left the hospital despite his injuries and against medical advice in order to attend a meeting about the restructuring of Author rights at the Russian Ministry of Justice. The first deputy general director of Melodiya, Karina Abramyan, told the press: « They [his aggressors] tried to prevent the meeting, but it is unlikely to be stopped. Andrei Krichevsky left the hospital with broken ribs and nose. This is one courageous act! »
