Sorry, Ms. Newspaper Columnist, but these death threats aren't real enough

Police have decided not to take seriously death threats sent to Znak.com columnist Ekaterina Vinokurova, who started getting threats after writing an article that criticized Christian extremists who have vowed to attack movie theaters that show “Matilda,” an upcoming film about a love affair early in the life of Tsar Nicholas II.

In a message to Vinokurova, one Facebook user wrote, “If the film comes out, expect a screwdriver in your side one night in [Moscow’s] Izmailovo District” (Vinokurova lives in the Izmailovo District). Police determined that the threat was purely “virtual” and poses no real danger.
