44-year-old Ivanovo resident Alexander Dorogupets was accused of transferring at least 11 thousand rubles in cash and cryptocurrency to “extremist groups,” including the Kalinovsky Regiment.

During the investigation of the criminal case, the man “voluntarily transferred” 600 thousand US dollars to the Cherven boarding school for disabled children with special psychophysical development needs, the Ivenets boarding school for disabled children with special physical development needs, and the Republican Center for the Organization of Medical Response.

On April 2, 2025, ONT aired another propaganda story, "Shadows. The Price of Terror," which told about the persecution of people for donations and those detained for financing organizations recognized by the authorities as "extremist" or "terrorist." The film showed several convicted people and those still awaiting trial. According to the story, Alexander was convicted, among other things, for donations to the Kalinovsky Regiment, BySol, and various information resources. The propagandists name 18 donations for a total of no less than three thousand euros.
