Recall that all the militants who carried out the massacre in the concert hall are being held in Lefortovo. They are in different cells, any communication between them is strictly prohibited. In principle, detention center employees rarely communicate with any prisoners, including terrorists. But you can’t do without some kind of everyday contacts. For example, employees enter and inspect the cells daily. In addition, if prisoners make any requests, jailers listen to them and accept written statements. 

On one of these days, when a pre-trial detention center employee, a Muslim by religion, was forced to communicate with Mirzoev, a dialogue took place between them, during which the accused harshly criticized religion itself. The men had a fight and it even came to a scuffle. After this, it was decided to reduce contact between terrorists and personnel as much as possible. Even verbal communication is kept to a minimum. This information could not be officially confirmed.
