Does anyone know exactly how/why he was arrested? I know it was for practicing the religion, but did he and others totally ignore the law in Russia and continue meeting openly and going door to door or were they trying to avoid detection? Did the GB instruct people there to either stop or continue activities there after it was outlawed (I'm sure there's nothing in writing)?
Someone I know said the GB immediately told them to stop going to meetings/door to door as soon as Russia outlawed it, and I was wondering if that was true.
