Case History
In June 2026, a criminal case was opened against Galina Medvedeva, a resident of the village of Babstovo. The investigation found that by participating in online conferences to study the religious literature of Jehovah’s Witnesses, she was acting as part of an organization recognized as “extremist” in Russia. Investigators conducted searches in several houses in the Leninskiy District of the Jewish Autonomous Region; personal notes, equipment and communication equipment were confiscated from Galina and other believers.
