A blogger from Uzbekistan, Jasurbek Shodiyev, known online as Jasjan, has been detained in Moscow for posting provocative videos filmed in the Moscow metro.

Russian Interior Ministry spokeswoman Irina Volk stated that police identified the videos during an internet monitoring operation. The footage showed the young man behaving provocatively toward subway passengers and instigating conflicts.

The author of the videos was quickly identified and detained at one of Moscow's international airports while attempting to leave Russia.
