Case Description
On May 3, 2023, in Vologda, special forces, together with local police officers and representatives of the Center for Combating Extremism, conducted a search at the home of Nikolai Yegorov, chairman of the local branch of the Yabloko party. After the search, he was taken away for questioning in handcuffs. Yegorova was accused of repeated "discrediting of the Russian army" and released on her own recognizance not to leave.
