Artem Yakovlev, a student at Irkutsk State University (ISU), was summoned on October 10 for a talk with law enforcement officers. He reported this to OVD-Info. According to Yakovlev, on October 9, the dean's office informed the student that the next day he needed to appear in room 404 of the university. There he was met by the ISU rector's security adviser, who asked the young man "a few questions about his prospects." After that, two men entered the office, and the adviser left the room.
