The gang used exceptional secrecy to hide their activities. In contrast to other neo-fascist groups, there were no skinheads among its members. The group also used exclusively confidential mobile phones to communicate. Authorities also discovered that they met very rarely in the open and avoided talking about ideology or tactics near power sockets, preferring to write their words on paper.
On June 14, 2011, the trial of eight members of the group began, with member Pavel Rumyantsev tried separately.
