Later, social activist Alexei Mukhin told Izvestia that capable patients of the Prokopievsky Neuropsychiatric boarding school (PSNI) in the Kemerovo region were deliberately not released from the institution even after the termination of the social service contract. He received his first complaints about illegal detention in 2021: the guests, being able-bodied people with disabilities, claimed that they could not leave the institution and asked for help. According to the patients, they were "held captive" and regularly fed spoiled food.
