Olga Archibasova is a social activist from the village of Soloneshnoe in the Altai Krai and a supporter of Svetlana Lada-Rus(Peunova)'s movement. She ran for local legislature but was unable to register. As part of her social activism, Archibasova opposed the elimination of local self-government, rising utility rates, and digitalization, and supported Novosibirsk farmers during the slaughter of their livestock. In June 2026, the activist reported that the administration of the Soloneshnoe Lyceum, where her daughter studied, threatened to send students to the war. Her Telegram channel contains many posts dedicated to supporting prisoners who support Lada-Rus. Archibasova attended the trial of Aruna Arna, who was convicted on June 1, 2026, of inciting terrorism for publishing video clips of cover versions of classic revolutionary songs, "The Internationale" and "Varshavyanka." The publication of "The Internationale" served as the basis for the criminal case against Archibasova herself.
