A resident of Yaroslavl, an engineer. In May 2022, he was detained in the central street of Yaroslavl, after a search at his place of residence and in the flat where he was a guest. A case was opened against him for participation in the activities of an extremist organisation due to his involvement with the Jehovah's Witnesses community. Kokovin was signed not to leave the country.
Representatives of this community are prosecuted under extremist articles on the basis of purely religious activities: holding meetings and worship services and attracting new supporters.
On 23 September 2024, Kokovin was fined 75,000 rubles.
