In December 2021, at least ten houses of Jehovah's Witnesses were searched in Samara. In one of the flats, law enforcers tortured and beat believers. Three men, Polosenko, Kuzyanin and Vasiliev, were arrested and sent to custody on charges of participation in the activities of an extremist organisation in connection with their involvement with the Jehovah's Witnesses community. The representatives of this community are prosecuted under extremist articles solely for their religious activities, such as meetings, joint worship services, and attracting new supporters.
In December 2022, Kuzyanin was transferred from custody under a ban on certain actions. In April 2023, the case was brought to court.
On Jan 25, 2024, Kuzyanin was sentenced to seven years in a general regime colony.
