On the night of October 24, the office of the "United Russia" party in Perm, Russia, was set on fire. Law enforcement is searching for two women suspected of arson, informs 59.RU.

The fire report was received at 11:41 p.m. local time. The total area of the fire was 40 square meters.

According to the head of the Perm branch of "United Russia," Stanislav Shvetsov, two women were caught on surveillance cameras, each throwing a Molotov cocktail.

"Two days ago, we sent a humanitarian cargo, and this information was on a federal channel. If you put two and two together, this is revenge," said the first deputy secretary of the regional branch of "United Russia."

Currently, law enforcement is searching for both women.

"United Russia"

"United Russia" is the leading political party in Russia, founded in 2001. It is a key force on the country’s political stage, closely associated with the current leadership, particularly Vladimir Putin. The party positions itself as centrist, though in reality, it supports conservative and nationalist policies.

"United Russia" holds a majority in the Parliament - State Duma, allowing it to actively influence the passing of laws and political decisions.

RBC-Ukraine reported last year about the explosion of the regional headquarters of "United Russia" in the temporarily occupied Nova Kakhovka, Kherson region.
