Resident of Irkutsk. On October 4, 2021, Vasilyev's home was searched. On the next day, the court sent him under house arrest on the charges of participation in the activities of an extremist organisation due to his involvement in the Jehovah's Witnesses community. On March 5, 2024, he was sentenced to three years in a general regime colony and taken into custody. On July 23, 2024, the court released him on his own recognizance as, taking into account the time spent under preventive measures, he had fully served his sentence.
