Alexander Bastrykin has taken an interest in the activities of “fashion guru” Artur Sita

The head of the Investigative Committee demanded a report on the results of the inspection into the activities of Sita’s sect. He gave the corresponding order to Dmitry Belyaev, head of the Investigative Committee’s Moscow directorate.

Meduza wrote about Artur Sita’s sect back in 2024. In this article, journalist Ksenia Morozova described how he built an entire business empire on the slave labor of his followers.

In 2026, the sect again drew public attention when Sita’s YouTube channel co-host, Lola Gruzdeva, who had left the sect, accused its founder of abuse and harassment.
