In Gelendzhik, a search of Jehovah's Witnesses in a cordon of representatives of the Cossacks

On November 16, 2016, in Gelendzhik (Krasnodar region), operatives came to the building of Jehovah's Witnesses on Vasnetsov Street. This happened before the start of the service, when there were several people, men and women, in the building. The service was disrupted, later no one was allowed into the building and was not released, it was cordoned off by representatives of the Cossacks. Those who came planted printed publications from the FSEM to the believers, which greatly outraged the believers.

At the same time, searches were conducted in two more houses where Jehovah's Witnesses live. Office equipment and a personal spiritual library were seized.
