Sergey recalls the beginning of the criminal prosecution: "At 06:45, the doorbell rang. Nothing could be seen through the peephole—it was dark. When the door was opened, a man with a covered face burst in, followed by six others. I was lying on the couch; I was roughly dragged to the floor and pressed face to the floor. My wife fainted from stress." Subsequently, Sergey's chronic illnesses worsened, and Olga also developed health problems.
The support of friends helps the couple cope with a difficult situation.
