Some of the adherents of the Sect of Skhariya the Jew had remained under the protection of Yelena Stefanovna and her son Tsarevich Dmitry, the grandson of Ivan III).

However, in 1502 Dmitry had been stripped of his title (it had been transferred to Vasili the son of Ivan III and Sophia Paleologue).

Ivan III dies on October 27, 1505; his eldest son succeeds him as Vasili III.

Yelena and Dmitry are arrested and imprisoned in 1505, leaving the adherents vulnerable to attacks from the authorities.

Other adherents are banished, imprisoned, or excommunicated.

Feodor Kuritsyn's adherents' club has ceased to exist.
