Moscow police are searching for a 22-year-old French-British man who was last seen in the early hours of Thursday morning in the north of the city, within a 15 minute radius (by car) of Medvedkovo Metro.
Nicolas Lazareff was with his brother and a friend when they left Crazy Daisy bar on Turgenevskaya Ploshchad at around 4 a.m.
They then got into a car with two unknown men and were taken to the north of Moscow before reportedly being robbed and left in a layby.
Nicolas is 185 cm tall of stocky build, with blonde hair and light blue eyes (with a brown speck in one eye). He was wearing a long brown coat with a white fur-lined collar (pictured). If you have any information please contact the Moscow Police or call +7 (962) 994 41 08.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
