In late March , Kushnir spoke to Shkrygunova for the last time, telling her he felt like he was being watched and that he "kept seeing the same person’s face" Court records contain no information about a criminal case against him, though there is a non-criminal case of “petty hooliganism” submitted on 20 June .
