On the day the bar reopened after being closed for 80 days due to sanitary violations, masked police officers and Rospotrebnadzor officers arrived for an inspection. "You're probably wondering, 'Why aren't we posting happy photos from the reopening?' The answer is simple: we were given 12 minutes to work," says in the bar's Telegram channel.  

On words employees of the establishment, now they “will again have to go through the courts and suspension of operations.” This time, “Vogel” may be closed for 90 days. 

The bar's founders call it "a place for intellectual leisure and socially useful discussion," and for this reason, "it has its detractors." They also believe the inspections are biased and may have been initiated following complaints from activists. 

The bar was previously closed in 2021 due to "sanitary violations." On October 24, police came swooping in there, when they held the “Evening of Letters to Political Prisoner Pavel Krisevich.” 

The bar's founder is Valentin Khoroshenin, who is implicated in the Vesna case (designated a foreign agent and an extremist organization, banned in Russia). He is accused of organizing an extremist group, rehabilitating Nazism, and "creating an NGO that encourages citizens to refuse to fulfill their civic duties or to commit other illegal acts."
