Case History
On July 13, 2022, Rybinsk security forces searched 16 houses of city residents. Two days earlier, the investigator of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Yaroslavl Region, D. Kovalenko, opened a criminal case against 66-year-old Yevgeniya Samoylova and 45-year-old Olga Golovacheva on suspicion of participating in extremist activities. This is how the investigation interprets the participation of women in peaceful worship services via the Internet. In March 2024, the case against the believers was closed due to the lack of evidence of a crime.
