Nika Belotserkovskaya

Blogger and businesswoman Nika Belotserkovskaya, who openly opposes Russia’s military special operation in Ukraine, posted on her Instagram** a post addressed to Kristina Potupchik, one of Russia’s influential media executives specializing in online propaganda.

– wrote the ex-wife of millionaire Boris Belotserkovsky.

Earlier, on the Nebozhena telegraph channel hosted by Kristina Potupchik, according to Belotserkovskaya, they wrote: “Nika Belotserkovskaya does not care that Russian soldiers are castrated in captivity.” As arguments, they quoted Belotserkovskaya’s comment when asked by a subscriber why she was protecting only Ukrainian soldiers and not paying attention to our “castrated, blind and armless children”:

After that, an article appeared on the Nebozhena telegram channel with this interpretation of Belotserkovskaya, and a wave of criticism struck Nika.

The conflict between Nika Belotserkovskaya and Kristina Potupchik has been going on for several years – it began even before the special operation and is connected, among other things, with the conflict between Belotserkovskaya and Bozhena Rynska.

Recall that in March the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation opened a criminal case against Belotserkovskaya for “discrediting the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation”, in May she was arrested in absentia (the blogger has been living in France for many years). In July, the Justice Department added Nika to the list of people acting as foreign agents. Belotserkovsky’s estate in Russia was also arrested, but some businesswomen managed to transfer it to friends and relatives. Among other things, the blogger left the publication Sobaka.ru, which he had since 1999.
