Case History
At the end of April 2026, a criminal case was initiated against elderly Aleksandr Ursu from Dzhankoy. The local Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation conducted searches. The court imposed a ban on certain actions for Ursu; later, he was placed under a recognizance agreement. Since childhood, the peaceful believer has faced repression for his religious beliefs. His son, Viktor, has also been persecuted for his faith — he is serving a sentence in a penal colony.
