On April 2 2021, Usanov's home was searched and he was detained. On the same day, the court sent him to custody on charges of organising activities of an extremist organisation. On 8 August 2023, at the court hearing, the prosecutor stated that there was no evidence of actions of an "organisational nature" and Usanov's charges were reclassified as participation in the activities of an extremist organisation. On 15 August 2023, Usanov was sentenced to three years in a general regime colony, but was released from the sentence due to time served.
