The police drew up two police reports against Afanasyeva under the administrative article on inciting hatred, as well as on organising an unauthorised event and obstructing the activities of bailiffs. She was also twice issued notices and warnings on the inadmissibility of extremist activities.
In November 2022, charges of inciting hatred were brought against Afanasyeva and she was taken into custody. She was later placed under house arrest. In February 2023, Afanasyeva was prosecuted for organising the activities of an extremist organisation due to her involvement in the movement of the Citizens of the USSR.
