Mom’s Witness: My Fight For Justice and Children Safety

November 3, 2025

A Life Overturned by Deceit

My ordeal began not with a mistake, but with a calculated inversion of reality in 2011.  I was targeted by organized criminals who deceived the police, leading to my wrongful arrest. I am a mother and a citizen who believes in righteousness, and yet I was treated as a criminal, stripped of my liberty and dignity. Their goal was to demoralize me, threaten me and shut me up, for I was a witness of federal crime – children pornography. The illegals, operated with perjury and forgery separated me from my children and torn our lives apart.

​The persecution I faced had a chilling religious dimension. I am an Orthodox Christian and a deep believer in Jesus Christ. In jail, I encountered a man claiming to be a priest from the Ukrainian (Slavic) Gospel. Coming from Russia, I had an inherent, unquestioning trust in any Russian-speaking priest, assuming his church was part of the Orthodox faith I knew. This profound trust was viciously exploited.

​This man, who was supposed to be my translator, acted as a wolf in sheep’s clothes. He told me, “Say guilty,” warning that if I waited for a trial, the police would never let me out, and that they were killing people inside of the jail “You will never see your kids again” – he said, “If you do not say guilty”. Terrified and believing his clerical authority, I signed the guilty statement. This deception was part of an insidious scheme used to secure a conviction, which then allowed criminals to manipulate our property and separate me from my children.

​The Heroic Stand Against Injustice

For 14 years I am staying alone against injustice. Of course, there are many brave and decent people I meet on my way who are trying to help, but there were many fallen angels as well who believed my adversaries. I experienced a series of unfortunate events one after another since 2011. I need a miracle that will restore love, peace and justice in my life and lives of my children.

I am believer in Jesus Christ. I am Orthodox Christian and in the year 2022 was also baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I do not consider myself as a “converted” person, – no, I consider myself as a person who grew up spiritually and made another step on the way closer to our Creator. I have now important responsibilities, such as baptism and confirmation of deceased ancestors, – so their souls could be restored in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ to live forever.

As Christians, we believe in eternal life through our faith, but it does not erase the importance of our material life – just opposite. God gave us responsibilities and there is a plan for every one of us, – the plan is to take care about our family and friends and through our example gather as many believers as possible and prepare this world for Jesus’s Second Coming. It is not a fairytale, – when he comes, he will come not to reign, but to make this world free of evil, disasters, illnesses and crimes. The Perfect world I am talking about is not an Utopia, – it is God’s promise for his believers. And he is waiting for his disciple to join this beautiful faith. Only then this prophesy will come true. No one knows how long it may take, but we believe that we can make it happen step by step, the way he would do it if he was here, – small steps whatever depends on us.

You might think that world with eternal families is impossible, but Bible says differently. “With God everything is possible”. Yes, World can stretch to eternity. We can live and let others live and we can start now. So please let me live my life. Stop this insane Witch Hunt, whoever it depends on. I need back my property, my income and my family.

With all my love,
