Alleged involvement in the green-dye attack on Navalny
Video recordings appeared to show SERB activists among the people who attacked Alexei Navalny with brilliant green. A related criminal case was later dropped because prosecutors considered identification inconclusive.

Confrontations involving Latynina and a cultural exhibition
SERB activists were associated with an attack involving journalist Yulia Latynina and the Jock Sturges exhibition. Tarasevich and Petrunko received administrative arrests.
Allegation of supervision by a Russian Interior Ministry officer
Former member Oleg Chursin alleged that SERB was supervised by Aleksey Okipny, described as an officer connected with the Interior Ministry's counter-extremism center. The available source presents this as an allegation rather than an established finding.
