In February 2021, the police opened a criminal case against Grigory Severin under the article on calls for extremism. In 2019, he commented on the news that Evgeny Manyurov from Moscow opened fire at the FSB’s building on Lubyanka Square. The court imposed a restraining order on Severin; he was sent for psychiatric examination in April.

In April, the police opened a new criminal case, for insulting police officers and the head of the Voronezh Criminal Investigation Department in social networks, against the resident of Voronezh. The court imposed house imprisonment on him, and in February 2022, a restraining order again.

In the summer of 2020, Grigory Severin already served out a 12-day administrative arrest for posts on social networks. Then the reason for the punishment was five pictures that he published on his page on vk.com from January 2014 to May 2020. One of them was a photo of a badge from 1939 with the image of a swastika. Three other illustrations also had a swastika, including a cartoon depicting the President of the Russian Federation. Severin calls himself an anti-fascist and oppositionist.
