A criminal case for calls to extremism was opened against a volunteer from Nadezhdin's headquarters in Primorye; he could not be found for more than a day after searches

A criminal case has been opened against Vasily Gorelikov, a supporter of the Rassvet party and a volunteer at Boris Nadezhdin's headquarters in Primorsky Krai, for calls to extremist activity (Article 280 of the Criminal Code). This was reported by the founder of the Rassvet party, Ekaterina Duntsova, who tried to register for the Russian presidential elections.

According to her, the reason for initiating the case were Gorelikov's old posts on social networks. Duntsova did not specify which ones. The court chose a preventive measure for the activist in the form of a ban on certain actions.

On June 5, the human rights project OVD-Info, citing a source in Nadezhdin's headquarters, reported that Gorelikov was searched in the city of Nakhodka in Primorsky Krai, after which the activist was taken away in an unknown direction. During the search, letters to political prisoners were confiscated from him.

The next day, Nikita Safin, a lawyer for Nadezhdin's headquarters in Primorye , told the publication "7x7" that Gorelikov was in the FSB building in Vladivostok. At that time, there had been no contact with the activist for about 35 hours, and his lawyer was not allowed to see him.

In March, during the presidential elections, Gorelikov was arrested for five days under the article on disobeying a police officer (Part 1 of Article 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses). Nadezhdin's headquarters reported that the activist was suspected of planning to pour green paint into the ballot box, and at the police station he was already accused of resisting arrest. According to Gorelikov, this did not happen.
