The artist from Ufa Alena Savelyeva began to receive threats due to the publication in the personal account of drawings of half-naked people in Bashkir national clothes. She told about this "rain."
“They write to me that they will find me, that they will find my relatives, that even if I hide, I’ll leave somewhere, my loved ones will suffer. Also, people are presented to journalists and want to make an appointment. I go to the site of these media, check the publications from this person, I do not find this person, ”said the artist. According to Savelyeva, after refusing to meet, those who introduced themselves to journalists threaten her: "We will find you anyway."
Savelyeva added that on January 12 she turned to the police. The security forces made screenshots of the comments with threats and opened a criminal case. The girl provided the police with screenshots of personal correspondence with threats.

The artist claims that threats began to come after the publication on VKontakte of the Bashkir activist Ruslan Gabbasov.
“This Alena, I think, crossed that thin line that is dangerous to cross. Will measures be taken towards her? Should she apologize as parents whose children were sitting by the fire and did lessons? Will they call her work and will they demand her to dismiss, how was Azat Khammatov dismissed? Will they put her for inciting interethnic growth, as Ramil Saitov was imprisoned? Will they seduce the car, as Lilia Chanysheva was doused? ”Gabbasov wrote.
