On June 22, 2023, a criminal case for calls to terrorism was opened in the Ivanovo region against a local 29-year-old resident, Mikhail Kupriyanov. According to the investigation, in 2023 he 'began expressing sympathies for the Armed Forces of Ukraine on social networks, posting videos about Ukrainian military and sharing messages about the RDK.' The next day, on June 23, a search was conducted at the man's home. In the same day, the Oktyabrsky District Court of Ivanovo sent Kuryanov into custody.
