The FSB invades the homes of Viktor Timoshchenko, Aleksandr Gorev and Yevgeniy Bagin to conduct an inspection, but in fact the believers are being searched.
Viktor Timoshchenko, who is staying with an elderly mother suffering from Alzheimer's disease, is threatened by operatives, demanding to confess on video. The law enforcers tell the man that they will create problems for relatives, and violence will be used against him. Tymoshchenko is forced to read a prepared text on camera. Also, law enforcement officers put pressure on Yevgeniy Bagin, threatening to create problems for his wife and daughters.
During these interrogations, which take place simultaneously with the ORM, none of the believers are provided with lawyers. After that, the men are taken for interrogation to the Abakan department of the Investigative Committee, where they learn that a criminal case on extremism has been opened against them (Part 1 of Article 282.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). It turns out that the case file contains hidden video recordings of recent meetings for worship.
Judge of the Abakan City Court Ivan Stepankov sends Viktor Timoshchenko, Aleksandr Gorev and Yevgeniy Bagin to pre-trial detention center No. 1 in the Republic of Khakassia. This was petitioned by the investigator of the Investigative Committee V. Kotenko.
The believers received parcels from relatives in the pretrial detention center. Gorev was also given a letter from his wife.
Bagin tries to stay optimistic, but worries about his wife, who recently underwent major surgery. The believer has his own health problems — he suffers from asthma, and has previously had heart surgery. He needs medication.
