The Yaroslavl police, through the court, demanded 510,307 rubles from the former local coordinator Elena Lekiashvili for work at the protest rally on January 23. Lekiashvili herself told Mediazona about this.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Yaroslavl region filed a claim in court for 495,415 rubles, and the Center for Economic and Service Support (TsKhiSO) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs - for 14,892 rubles. The police attached to the lawsuit a list with the names of 204 employees who worked at the rally and the payments they were entitled to. TsKhiSO provided a list of equipment involved in the action.
