The Kudins are parishioners of the evangelical church "Grace". Evgeny is a very family man and a father of many children; it is impossible to find a single photo in his social networks where he would not be with his children. Evgeny's first wife Vera died two years ago. The man married again, but perhaps remained the only legal representative of the children.

The man was accused of "calls to harm national security" (Part 3 of Article 361 of the Criminal Code), he faced from 4 to 12 years in prison. However, judging by the information from the "list of extremists", he remained free (the sentence was most likely domestic chemistry or acute punishment).
