The court of Novo-Savinovyan district recognized as legal the request of the prosecutor's office against the KCAG of Christ and the city, which requires the restoration of the former name of the Kazan resident, Yevgeny Petrovich Chekulaev, as can be seen from the record of court cases.
The court decided that the CCA should restore the previous registration of his birth, and Christ should be given a new passport with his previous name.
The prosecutor justified his demand by the fact that changing the name for religious reasons is prohibited in Russia. He also cited the position of the Constitutional Court, according to which identifying the name with the person of Jesus Christ misleads citizens and "hurts the feelings of believers".
Christ was repeatedly convicted of robberies and robberies. In 2015, he was diagnosed with a personality disorder as a result of a head injury he suffered in 2010.
In December 2025, Christ was sentenced to two years of probation and a fine of 13,000 rubles for false registration of 45 foreigners in his apartment.
