Georgy Tsykin admitted his guilt. He said that in the Facebook news feed he saw a post from one of the users with many photos of this police officer. Tsykin "succumbed to the general negative mood" and left a comment under this publication, which was regarded by the police officer himself as "insulting and discrediting honor."
