Biography

Evelina Saltykova was born in October 2004 in Votkinsk (Udmurtia). She grew up without a father. Her grandmother died 3 years before the criminal prosecution, leaving Evelina and her mother alone together.

She was raised in an atmosphere of kindness and respect for moral values; she was taught qualities that would help her become an honest, caring and hardworking person. There is warmth and trust within the family.

After finishing school, Evelina went into medicine: after receiving specialized training, she works in radiology at a hospital and planned to continue her education in this field. In her free time, Evelina enjoys embroidery — and although she only took it up recently she has made good progress. She also loves dogs and dreams of getting a corgi.

Those around her note that Evelina has a good sense of humor and tries to maintain a positive attitude even in difficult circumstances. The criminal prosecution has been a severe test for her. During the search and interrogation, she experienced psychological pressure from law enforcement officers and so remembering those events is hard for her.

Case History

In October 2026, the Investigative Committee for the Udmurt Republic initiated a criminal case against four residents of Votkinsk; their homes were searched. Valeriy Agafonov and Yuriy Basilae were charged with organizing the activity of a banned organization, while Svetlana Agafonova and Evelina Saltykova were charged with participating in it. The next day, the court sent the believers to a pretrial detention center for 2 months.
