On February 3, Lyudmila Borzilo, a member of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF), complained that the law enforcement bodies had unfoundedly instituted a criminal case against her and demanded from her to undergo a psychiatric examination. Furthermore, the activist complained that officials were trying to place her children in an orphanage in revenge for her active civic position.

Relatives and friends of Lyudmila Borzilo reported her disappearance to the police. Three young children are left without the care of their mother. The woman was supposed to pick them up from kindergarten, but did not show up.
