[note 2] The company offers the services of freezing the entire bodies or heads of clients in liquid nitrogen with a plan to revive them if such a technology is developed, but takes no legal obligations to do so.

[6] According to KrioRus and press reports, as of August 15, 2019 the company has 70 people under care (36 bodies and 34 patients' heads),[9][16][17] 10 dogs, 17 cats, both male and female, as well as 4 birds and a chinchilla.

[20] KrioRus is considered to be one of the largest cryonics companies in the world competing with Alcor Life Extension Foundation (170 people in cryogenic storage) and some others.

[37][38][39] The R&D team is led by cryobiologist[40] Yuri Pichugin, PhD, who previously worked in Cryonics Institute (USA, Detroit) from 2001 to 2007.

[44][45][46][47] The company is incorporated in Russia and works in a relatively new and unregulated field, which allows it to provide services at lower cost than its US-based rivals.

[15][49][50] Legally speaking, the contract between KrioRus and its clients is designed as an agreement to participate in a scientific experiment, hence the customers have to accept the risks associated and acknowledge that the "revival" is not guaranteed.

[3] Yevgeny Alexandrov, the chair of the Russian Academy of Sciences commission against pseudoscience, has said that there is no scientific basis for cryonics and that the company's offering is based on unfounded speculations.
