Case summary
A female resident of St. Petersburg, she holds a veterinarian degree and worked as a hairdresser in a past few years. On 22 November 2023 she was taken into custody in the case of spreading deliberately false information about the Armed Forces of Russia. On 31 May 2024, during a hearing to appeal the decision to extend the measure of restraint, Aleksandrova said that she was threatened by prosecution witnesses. In her opinion, the reason for the case was a land conflict: she was slandered by a neighbour on her summer house plot. On 15 April 2025, Aleksandrova was sentenced to five years and two months in a general regime penal colony.
