On 9 November 2021, he was detained following a search. The next day a court placed him in custody in a case of organising activities of an extremist organisation in connection with his involvement in the Jehovah's Witnesses community. Members of this group are prosecuted under extremism articles solely for religious activities: meetings, joint worship services, attracting new followers. In August 2022, Kosyanenko was also charged with financing extremist activity. On 17 April 2023 he was sentenced to seven years in a general-regime penal colony.
