California Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 An American dancer with dual US-Russian citizenship has been arrested in Russia for donating to Ukrainian causes. I have never heard of her before. Has anyone? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-ksenia-karelina-ballerina-arrested-treason-for-funding-ukraine-amid-war/ https://nypost.com/2024/02/20/world-news/treason-accused-us-russian-ksenia-karelinas-family-ask-for-help/ https://news.yahoo.com/american-ballerina-dual-citizenship-arrested-000505855.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHSx_XlI1sIOhOZhrzTahre2-AquBbB2FaAvAj4AZdbgFrmeIfOP6O6vOyqgYvjZRordl8En7BiiJXtAC9TuB7ruSMbwl-3-HDP46_My3PR04-XqOsYXFGlB6_twmbwBBIEPE2DM8fnhd0oJePBX1Oi3a_CF2g8nVyeedsjaWnF9 Link to comment
FPF Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 My sense from the articles is that she trained as a dancer but has not been dancing professionally. One of the articles I read says that she's an esthetician working at a spa in Beverly Hills. Link to comment
dirac Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 That's my sense as well. They call her a "ballerina" or "dancer" and there is a photo of her in a tutu wearing pointe shoes, but she does not seem to be affiliated with a company or school. The articles say she either works at a spa or manages it, or both. In any case one wishes her the best and hopes for a happy outcome for her and her family. Link to comment
jorge Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 i hope soon she be back to America , thinking that in Russia everybody can be arrested without any valid cause is a true danger for people Link to comment
