In February 2023, security forces came to search the resident of Chita, Ivan Losev. He was accused of repeated "discrediting of the Russian army" and sent to a pre-trial detention center.

On May 22, the court changed Losev's measure of restraint to a ban on certain actions. Earlier, Losev had already been fined twice for a total of 30 thousand rubles and twice for 35 thousand rubles due to posts about a dream in which Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky featured, as well as interviews in which he told about the fine for retelling this dream.
