The bureau is accused of tax evasion. Shortly before the security forces' visit, studio co-founder Andrei Makouski (Andrus Bezdar) wrote on social media that they had received instructions to hire an ideologist.

Security forces came to the office of ZROBIM architects bureau on April 9 and 10. About 50 employees were detained, most were later released.
The firm was accused of receiving undeclared profits of $6 million from 2021 to 2025. The total damage to the country's budget was estimated at more than 5 million rubles. An STB report stated that "at least 60% of all salaries" to the bureau's employees were paid "in envelopes."
Studio co-founder Andrei Makouski was detained. But 16 days after the raid on the studio, posts about new projects appeared on Andrei's social media — it was assumed that he had been released.
However, yesterday, June 4, a post appeared on Andrei's Threads account: "Greetings from the pre-trial detention center! Pay your taxes in full, guys."
Later, his wife explained on social media: she is temporarily managing the account while her husband is behind bars. "In his letters, he sends me messages for Threads that he wants to discuss with you."
