A Moscow court on April 21 issued an arrest warrant for Budanov on the charge of creating a terrorist group, a terrorist act, and illegal possession of explosives and firearms. Media reports cited sources close to law enforcement as saying the arrest warrant was linked to an explosion that damaged a Russian-built bridge that connects Russia to Ukraine's Moscow-annexed Crimean Peninsula in October 2022. At the same time, the ribbon’s inventor says that the “project is apolitical and is directed towards historical memory. ...If a local action has become a popular tradition it would be desirable that its initial purposeis not lost - experiencing personal family history in the context of WWII” (in Russian).

In songs, pictures, works of art, monuments, in the names of brigades, collective farms, and streets we cherish the memories of the deeds of our valiant fighters and heroes. This will be our pride-filled military honour roll, which will be cherished by many generations of Soviet people.... The patriotic war will leave among our people an imperishable memorial of glory.
