The Ministry's database does not mention the specific charge prompting the search for Shminke. In December 2023, the artist spoke about facing charges of repeatedly discrediting the army (Article 280.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

Following the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the 'Uralnash'В media outlet ceased its operations, and its founders, Stanislav and Irina Shminke, left the country. In May 2022, an anti-war statement was published on the website, after which 'Uralnash'В began distributing content unrelated to the war.

In August 2022, Stanislav Shminke and his company, Intellectual Business Solutions, were reported by Andrey Alshevskikh, a State Duma deputy for the United Russia party. The company was fined 300,000 rubles, and its owner 100,000 rubles.

Andrey Alshevskikh is known for his reports against Yulia Navalnaya and Evgeny Borovik, a former deputy of the Yekaterinburg City Council. In 2022, he also requested the Ministry of Justice to investigate whether there were grounds to label the Yeltsin Center as a foreign agent.
