A 38-year-old illustrator. She quit her job at a large IT company. Her colleagues, shocked, tried to talk her out of it, so she decided to go home. She claimed she already had a certificate from the KGB showing she'd paid back the full amount of her 2020 donation. She was tired of being homeless. She was detained at the border. According to the prosecution's case, as presented by the Prosecutor General's Office press service, between 2021 and 2022, Natalia Levaya transferred cash and cryptocurrency totaling at least four thousand four hundred rubles (equivalent to approximately 1,275 euros today) to bank accounts and virtual wallets "used by members of extremist groups, including armed groups such as the Kalinovsky Regiment." Furthermore, she was fined 1,000 basic units—almost the same amount she donated to initiatives and foundations. This is the penalty requested by the prosecution in court. The trial was held behind closed doors.
She was pardoned on February 19, 2026, in her 8th month of pregnancy.
