Konstantin Bazhenov, who had been in pre-trial detention since August 21, 2018, was released on August 29. The court decided not to choose any measure of restraint for him, but the criminal case against him was not closed.
41-year-old Konstantin Bazhenov was detained in Yelizovo (Kamchatka Territory) during searches. Together with him in the temporary detention center were his wife Snezhana Bazhenova and 71-year-old Vera Zolotova. On August 24, both women were also released, but the investigator chose a measure of restraint for them in the form of a written undertaking not to leave as part of a further investigation.
All three believers are charged with organizing extremist activities. Law enforcement officers bring such an accusation against believers throughout the country without evidence.
