According to a psycholinguistic study, in the specified video material there are actions and statements aimed at humiliating a person and a group of people on the grounds of an attitude towards the religions of Islam and Christianity. In this regard, the prosecutor's office of the republic sent materials to the Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Chechen Republic to resolve the issue of criminal prosecution of Davod and an application to the court to recognize the video material as extremist

However, shortly after publication, all reports of the criminal case against Maddyson were removed from the official Chechen websites. After that, nothing was reported about the investigation against the blogger.

Ilya Maddyson left Russia because of the threats he received.
