In November 2020, because of an action on the anniversary of the October Revolution, a case of violence against a representative of the authorities was brought against him. According to eyewitnesses, several police officers used physical force against Cherepanov at the rally. After that he was taken to the IC to give an explanation. "The policemen forcibly dragged me into the Gazelle and put me on the floor. I lay on my back for 20 minutes, as they held me down. I started shouting that I was unwell, asking for an ambulance, then the three of them started turning me over on my stomach", Cherepanov told Novaya Gazeta.
