Biography
A resident of Krasnodar Krai. On April 29, 2020, Ivshin's house was searched, he was taken for questioning and then released on his own recognizance as a defendant in the case of organising activities of an extremist organisation due to involvement in the Jehovah's Witnesses community. Representatives of this community are prosecuted under extremist articles solely for religious activities: meetings, joint worship services, attracting new supporters.
On February 10, 2021, he was sentenced to seven and a half years in a general regime prison, taken into custody in the courtroom.
