Police State<\/h2>

On Thursday, Russian police targeted the home of Sergey Boyko, a known critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, as part of a widespread raid.<\/p>

But Boyko was determined to prevent the officers from confiscating his electronics — so he used a drone<\/a> to fly them out of his high-rise apartment via an open window.<\/p>

Extraction Point<\/h2>

A companion in Boyko’s home at the time of the Russian raid recorded the whole thing, with Boyko later uploading the footage to YouTube.<\/p>

“Done,” Boyko said in Russian at one point in the clip, according to a BBC News<\/em> translation<\/a>. “The evacuation has been carried out. The drone reached its destination.”<\/p>

That destination remains unknown, but the BBC<\/em> reported that Boyko said the drone carried a combination of hard disks, solid-state drives, and flash sticks, all of which contained “very important” information he didn’t want the police to get their hands on.<\/p>

Russian Raid<\/h2>

In addition to Boyko’s apartment, Russian police stormed approximately 200 homes and offices on Thursday as part of a crackdown on Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny and his Anti-Corruption Foundation, a Russian nonprofit dedicated to exposing corruption in the nation’s government<\/a>.<\/p>

Boyko is a known ally of Navalny, but thanks to his quick drone escape, his electronics weren’t among the many computers and phones Russian police reportedly confiscated<\/a> during Thursday’s raid.<\/p>
