Lieutenant Colonel Denis Mirolyubov, an investigator for especially important cases of the Investigative Department for the city (closed administrative-territorial unit) of Ozersk, initiates a criminal case against five believers.
Judge of the Ozersky City Court of the Chelyabinsk Region Aleksey Gladkov chooses a measure of restraint for Artem Repin, Igor Smolnikov, Oleg Preobrazhensky and Evgeny Cherepanov in the form of detention in a pre-trial detention center.
Artem Repin has a congenital heart defect. After being taken into custody, his hypertension worsened, they refuse to measure his blood pressure in the pre-trial detention center, they do not give him pills. In the near future, he is waiting for a parcel with a blood pressure monitor to track his blood pressure on his own.
Oleg Preobrazhensky has serious health problems, and doctors suspect he has a serious illness. He did not have time to complete the medical examination scheduled for the end of January due to his arrest. The believer is worried about his 85-year-old father, whom he cared for after an elderly man recently suffered a stroke. It is cold in the cell where Oleg is kept, the believer almost always wears a hat. They don't let him see his wife, they don't let him call her. Preobrazhensky receives letters and parcels.
Igor Smolnikov is experiencing difficulties due to the fact that there is constant smoking in the cell where he is kept. Everyone except Repin is also still in smoking cells.
Yevgeniy Cherepanov, Oleg Preobrazhensky, Igor Smolnikov and Artem Repin remain in pre-trial detention center No. 4 in Zlatoust. Men are quarantined. The investigator does not allow them to make calls or see family members.
