In the Trans-Baikal Territory, citizenship was revoked from a person who called to confront law enforcement authorities and refuse to comply with their legal demands. In addition, according to the FSB, he spread a negative attitude to military service in Russia among people from neighboring countries.

A resident of the Tambov region, whose Russian citizenship was also revoked, was a member of the regional diaspora and advocated the forced protection of the interests of migrant workers in conflicts with local residents. The FSB also noted its commitment to nationalist and extremist ideas.

As a result, the court found the man guilty of hooliganism (Part 2 of Article 213 of the Criminal Law), intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm (Article "A", Part 3 of Article 111 of the Criminal Law) and illegal arms trade (Article "A" of Part 3 of Article C22).
