The Case of Yuliya Pasynkova in Mednogorskiy

Case History

In July 2024, the Investigative Committee initiated a criminal case against Yuliya Pasynkova and her mother-in-law Tatyana, on suspicion of participating in the activity of an extremist organization. A few days later, her house was searched — the third time since November 2021, when a criminal case was initiated against her husband, Aleksey. The couple are raising a son with a disability, who is completely dependent on the help of his parents. At the end of December 2024, the case went to court. After the recusal of two judges, the case was transferred to the court of another district. In September 2025, Yuliya was given a 5-year suspended sentence.
