Raviia Yusupova

According to the investigation, she participated in gatherings of followers of the religious group "Allia aiat" ("Elle ayat"), together with three other residents of the region, "one of whom also performed coordinating functions of the group", and the other two were active participants. According to the case file, from 2020 to 2022, Olga Gruzdeva, Nadezhda Gruzdova and Raviia Yusupova, acting by prior conspiracy, continued the activities of the religious association, despite the court decision to ban it due to its recognition as extremist. For this purpose, the women rented premises in the Sovetsky district of Novosibirsk, where they regularly held meetings with followers, taught religious practices, distributed literature recognised as extremist, and recruited new members. In addition, Gruzdeva, Gruzdova and Yusupova organised the collection of money, which was used to support the activities of the banned association. The total amount of donations totalled more than 193,000 roubles.
