In May 2023, the security forces searched the home of Aleksandr Protasov, a witness in the
case of Yuriy Yuskov. A year and a half later, an FSB investigator opened a criminal case against Aleksandr on suspicion of participating in the activities of an extremist organization and took him on a recognizance agreement. At the same time, the believer was included in the list of extremists of Rosfinmonitoring.
