Early in the morning, Vasiliy and Irina Shishkin's homes are searched. They are told that they have been followed for two years, as a wiretapping was installed in their house. After that, believers are taken for interrogation to the Investigative Committee.
Investigator of the Investigative Committee Y. G. Platonova initiates a criminal case under an extremist article against several residents of Prokopyevsk. In her opinion, they "committed deliberate actions aimed at participating in the activities of a religious association, in respect of which the court ... a decision has been made to liquidate it."
Investigator Platonova interrogates Irina Shishkina. The woman uses Article 51 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. It turns out that the believer is in the status of a suspect in a criminal case.
Shishkina is brought in as an accused and takes a recognizance agreement from her.
