Maria Andreeva, an activist in the “Put’ Domby” movement for wives of mobilized soldiers, reported that she was forced to quit her job because of her “foreign agent” status.

“I am currently on leave with subsequent dismissal, which will take place on November 24, 2024. So foreign agents are not just deprived of their rights, they are deprived of their livelihood!” she wrote on her Telegram channel. “When the representative of the Ministry of Justice said at my trial that the law on foreign agents is only restrictive and supervisory in nature, and not punitive, I wanted to laugh out loud! The main thing is that they punish without bothering at all with the evidence base! Just like that…”

In a conversation with Mediazona, Andreeva specified that she worked at the Scientific and Practical Center for Children’s Psychoneurology of the Moscow Health Department. According to her, she entered into an agreement with an HR employee, according to which she “goes on vacation for 136 days with subsequent dismissal.”

Updated . Maria Andreeva has decided to abandon the public fight for the return of those mobilized from the front. “I am not in the movement because I have long been confused about its goal. And yes, I will publicly stop [fighting for the return of those mobilized],” she

told “Agency”. The activist explained her actions by concern for her child: “My child is needed only by me, and no one else. And the child must be happy.”

At the end of May 2024, the Russian Ministry of Justice declared Maria Andreeva and the Put’ Domby movement “foreign agents”. The activists of the movement oppose indefinite mobilization and demand that the Russian Ministry of Defense rotate the military called up for the war in Ukraine.
