On January 23, Shevchenko was sent under house arrest. A few days after that , the 17-year-old daughter of the activist, who was disabled by the first group, died . Shevchenko at first was not allowed to visit her. On February 10, in large cities of Russia, the Martial Anger March was held in support of Shevchenko. At the end of March, the Open Russia Conference decided to eliminate the movement in order to protect their activists.
