Case summary

Student of the Northern (Arctic) Federal University. On 26 December 2022, she was searched, after which she was detained. Later it became known that a case was opened for discrediting the Armed Forces, as well as public justification of terrorism. The court elected her a preventive measure in the form of a ban on certain actions. On 3 January 2023, Krivtsova was detained, accusing that tickets from Russia had been bought in her name. At the same time, the girl's support group claims that neither she nor any of her relatives bought the tickets. The next day the court sent her under house arrest. Krivtsova managed to leave Russia. After that, the investigator began threatening her family. In June, Krivtsova and her husband were expelled from the university. In July 2024, it became known that Krivtsova's Russian passport was cancelled. At the same time, Krivtsova's mother was fined because, according to the law enforcers, the girl had stolen the electronic bracelet of the Federal Penitentiary Service.
