Vladimir Gaydyshev becomes one of the believers whose house is being searched as part of a special operation by the Kurgan law enforcement officers. Literature based on the Bible, personal notes and photographs, and a flash drive were seized from him.
From the criminal case of Ilya Ershov , materials against Vladimir Gaydyshev, a visually impaired of group I, are separated into a separate proceeding. This decision is made by the senior investigator of the Investigative Committee for especially important cases, Major of Justice Rayan Suleymanov. He is known for participating in the investigation of the case of Jehovah's Witnesses Ershov and Lubin, who died more than six months ago.
The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under part 2 of article 282.2 of the Criminal Code against Gaydyshev. The ruling states that the believer "appointed brothers or sisters to hold meetings for the ministry, organized preaching on holidays."
The security forces detain Vladimir on the street while walking and take him to investigator Suleymanov for questioning. There the believer learns that he has been assigned a restriction measure in the form of a recognizance agreement. Later, when Vladimir returns home, his mobile phone is confiscated. The man shares that from the stress he experienced, his condition "deteriorated sharply, his eyesight dropped."
Investigator Grachev hands Gaydyshev a decision to prosecute him as an accused.
