Nina Slobodchikova, a 37-year-old IT professional, has been sentenced to 12 years in a penal colony on charges of treason for making a single money transfer to a Ukrainian blogger\u2019s account. The trial was held behind closed doors, and little was known about Slobodchikova\u2019s fate until the verdict. In her first extensive interview via correspondence from detention, she tells Mediazona<\/em> how law enforcement officers stole her Scottish Fold cat and how the investigator promised tolerable conditions in pre-trial detention and a short sentence in exchange for a guilty plea and keeping the case out of the public eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interview has been condensed into a first-person account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Nina Slobodchikova, I\u2019m 37 years old. I\u2019ve been in pre-trial detention since March 3, 2023. Until May 2024, I was held in Lefortovo prison, now I\u2019m in Detention centre No. 6 [SIZO-6 in Moscow].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m an IT professional. Since 2008, I\u2019ve been automating accounting and tax systems in large enterprises\u2014essentially, configuring SAP<\/em> systems for companies. In the years leading up to my arrest, I was head of tax accounting automation at a major Russian manufacturing holding company\u2014working directly with the Federal Tax Service, hoping to improve things and influence tax practices even after the war began. I loved my work and saw meaning in it, especially in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve viewed Ukraine as a second homeland since childhood; my mother is from the Kherson region. All my relatives on my mother\u2019s side lived there until recent events, and that\u2019s where I started first grade. In 1993, we moved to the Novosibirsk region [in Siberia] to help my father\u2019s mother, but our connection to Ukraine always remained very close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fear, horror, shame, and helplessness\u2014these were the primary emotions in the first days. I remember walking my dog: the street was deserted and eerily quiet. It seemed to me that all of nature, all the people around, were in the same state of shock as I was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arrest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I was arrested on Friday, March 3, 2023. That evening, I was supposed to fly to Novosibirsk to visit my sister. It was an ordinary workday in remote format. I had just started a work call to discuss a business trip to Belgium planned for mid-March. The doorbell rang, I turned off the video and sound of the conference, opened the door without looking through the peephole, and there was a crowd of masked men with weapons. At first, I thought they had the wrong flat, that they\u2019d rung the wrong doorbell. Turns out, they hadn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t remember how I ended up sitting in the kitchen. They took my phone there, forced me to unlock it. One of the officers was filming everything on his phone, repeatedly asking, \u201cDo you know why you\u2019ve been detained?\u201d The first time I answered, \u201cNo, have I been detained?\u201d They all laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking back, I can laugh at my naivety, but at the time it was terrifying. They treated me harshly, addressing me rudely with the informal \u201cyou\u201d (\u201cty\u201d) despite my protests. Nevertheless, they allowed me to pack, claiming it would only be for a couple of days. It wasn\u2019t until we were in the car that they revealed the reason for my detention: \u201cSo, Nina Mikhailovna, remember that 5,000 rouble transfer?\u201d I nearly burst out laughing, assuming it was a joke. Could a squad of about ten fully armed officers with a battering ram really have stormed my flat over a transfer of 5,000 roubles [about $50]? Could this really be serious?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investigator later took offence when I said the detention was harsh. He said, \u201cWe didn\u2019t even make you lie on the floor.\u201d I agree, considering how they treat others\u2014I was handled \u201cpolitely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My case was handled by the first department of the FSB Investigative Directorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe that the absence of threats of physical violence doesn\u2019t equate to an absence of pressure. Denying access to the lawyer hired by my friends, not sending my letters, threatening to deny my relatives access to my illegally sealed flat, promising additional criminal cases, and many other minor things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of all this, given my complete isolation from everyone, I felt utterly powerless and dependent on the investigator. For instance, I believe the FSB stole my pedigree grey Scottish Fold cat under the guise of caring for it. They brought him to the investigative department on the day of my arrest. They said they couldn\u2019t leave him alone in an empty flat and promised to hand him over to my relatives or friends upon my request. But they didn\u2019t keep their word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Charge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m accused of transferring 5,000 roubles to a Sberbank<\/em> card belonging to a Ukrainian blogger in April 2023, which allegedly \u201cpurchased ammunition and equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine,\u201d causing damage to the security of the Russian Federation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The case was opened 10 months after the money transfer. Supposedly because I had a ticket booked to Belgium via Istanbul. That March was supposed to be an excellent month for me: Moscow\u2014Novosibirsk\u2014Krasnoyarsk\u2014Moscow\u2014Istanbul\u2014Belgium\u2014Brazil\u2014Moscow. In this itinerary, everything except Moscow and Novosibirsk was related to work trips. The case file states, \u201cSlobodchikova planned to fly to Novosibirsk on the day of her arrest with the aim of escaping to EU countries.\u201d Yes, of course, everyone always flies to Europe [from Moscow] via Siberia! And in the story on federal channels, it was said that I was detained while attempting to leave the country. In short, they can\u2019t allow such a dangerous criminal to escape to unfriendly countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I have a theory that I can\u2019t confirm yet. The criminal case against me was opened on March 2, 2023. On February 28 of the same year, Putin addressed the FSB saying, \u201cWe need to identify and suppress the illegal activities of those trying to split and weaken our society.\u201d So these loyal sons of the fatherland rushed to report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why me? From the case materials, I know there wasn\u2019t a specific denunciation against me. But I have an intuition that raises questions here. Only there\u2019s no one to ask, and no one to give honest answers. I think there\u2019s some reason why I became one of the first, according to my investigator, to be charged with financing the Armed Forces of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I transferred the money because I couldn\u2019t not transfer it. At that moment, it seemed the only thing I could do to cope with the helplessness and guilt. Due to my poor physical and psychological state, I couldn\u2019t think of another way. I saw this transfer as humanitarian aid. I understood there could be consequences if the situation worsened. But I thought it would be limited to a fine. Of course, I didn\u2019t expect a treason case and a 12-year sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trial<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All the court hearings, starting from those where they put me under my arrest, can be characterised by the word \u201ccircus,\u201d and without spectators, because all the hearings were closed as the materials of my case allegedly contain state secrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a question for the judges: how long ago did they last read Russian legislation? There were many violations and a complete lack of objectivity. Only after the trial did I admit to myself: I\u2019m being tried for my views on what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the verdict was delivered, I felt anger, even rage. I knew after the first interrogation that the sentence would be long. The mood and opinion of the judges about me were absolutely clear. So by the day of the verdict, all tears had been shed and the horror had been endured as much as possible; I was prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the verdict was being read, none of the three Moscow City Court judges even looked at me. It was clear from one of them that he was unhappy with the verdict, but he hardly defended me much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t shake off the nagging question: they\u2019ve sentenced me to 12 years, and what next? Did they go for drinks and congratulate each other on a job well done, on a new bonus? How do people continue to exist after making such decisions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe that from a legal standpoint my guilt hasn\u2019t been proven, and morally my conscience is clear. But back then, in March 2023, I was terrified that the sentence would be 20 years and I\u2019d come out a 56-year-old woman no one needed. And I believed the investigator that I had truly broken the law, and that perceiving it as humanitarian aid didn\u2019t absolve me of responsibility. It seemed logical to me then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was an informal agreement\u2014I admit guilt and don\u2019t publicise the case in the media, and the investigator doesn\u2019t complicate my life, doesn\u2019t hinder communication with relatives, and helps to secure a shorter sentence. I believed in this deal almost until the very verdict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Internally, I divide my fellow political prisoners into two categories. The first are those who were prepared for persecution or thought they were prepared. These are people who loudly and clearly state their position. These people don\u2019t need my advice; they understand everything. I want to thank them for their courage and say, please, don\u2019t give up! Don\u2019t allow thoughts that all this is meaningless to enter your head even for a second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second are those who got caught up in this historical whirlpool by chance, because they retained their humanity and weren\u2019t afraid to see the truth. I still want to advise them: don\u2019t believe that you\u2019ve done anything wrong. Hold on! Everything ends. And we\u2019ll still have a noisy celebration in our streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the most part, I manage to maintain a positive attitude. I believe all this darkness will end\u2014we won\u2019t even notice how or when. Later, looking back, we\u2019ll understand: we\u2019ve already lived through that darkest night before the long-awaited dawn. So now, the important thing is to preserve ourselves, so that we have the strength to rebuild our lives later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, no misery for longer than an hour! And then do something pleasant, useful. For me, it\u2019s books, meditation, learning something new, something creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel the support of many. I know there are people who don\u2019t write, don\u2019t send greetings, but help. There are strangers who write words of support and help. I\u2019ve developed warm correspondences with some. I think many old friends and colleagues are worried but for various reasons aren\u2019t ready to express it. I understand and accept this, given the specifics of my case and what\u2019s happening in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My closest people haven\u2019t just not turned away, they\u2019ve become my support during these 18 months. In fact, I\u2019ve never had as much support in my life as I feel now. I\u2019m grateful to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I\u2019m free, the first thing I\u2019ll do is hug my sister tightly, call my mum and tell her I love her. I\u2019ll go to a body of water or a swimming pool and spend the whole day sitting in the water, looking at my phone and saying thank you to those who\u2019ve been there for me all this time. And then I\u2019ll go look for a job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, I didn\u2019t want to publicise my case, but 12 years changed everything. I\u2019m still scared now. I think new criminal cases will follow the publications, pressure will start through everyday things and communication with relatives, a sudden transfer to the most remote colony… What else do they have in their arsenal? I fear the unlimited power of the FSB and what they might do to my relatives. But unlike 18 months ago, I now know that freedom can\u2019t be bought with silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people who write to me, worry about me, help me, have the right to know at least something about me. People who believe that 12 years can\u2019t be given for just 5,000 roubles should know that it can be and is given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I don\u2019t want to be just a silent victim of the regime anymore. I want to look back and know that I did everything I could, or at least tried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
