Producer of educational projects who returned to Russia sent to pretrial detention over donations to the FBK

A Tomsk court sent educational-project producer Elena Matushevskaya to pretrial detention, the outlet “Govorit NeMoskva” writes. The woman had flown to Russia for work matters. On October 1, she was detained in Krasnoyarsk in a case over donations to the FBK. Five years ago, Elena transferred 7 payments of 500 rubles each to the Foundation.

In the past, Elena Matushevskaya worked on advertising and creative projects at the Tomsk television company TV2, and also worked in various media organizations in Tomsk and Krasnoyarsk.
