Former deputy from St. Petersburg Olga Galkina was put on the wanted list

Reforum Space Berlin coordinator Olga Galkina has been put on the wanted list in Russia. Mediazona found this in the federal search database on the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Galkina, who was a member of the St. Petersburg parliament from Yabloko and a municipal deputy in the Morskoy district, left Russia in 2022 shortly after the outbreak of a full-scale war and a search of her house.

In exile, Olga Galkina became a co-founder of “Deputies of Peaceful Russia” - an association of deputies from Russia at various levels who opposed the invasion of Ukraine (the Prosecutor General’s Office recognized it as an “undesirable organization”).

She is also the coordinator of Reforum Space in Berlin (these are event centers created by the Free Russia Foundation in seven cities abroad). The Free Russia Foundation also nominated her as a candidate for the Russian platform at PACE.

In 2024, the Ministry of Justice included the foundation itself in the register of “extremist organizations” as a division of the non-existent “Anti-Russian Separatist Movement” (the decision to ban it was made by the Supreme Court).

On May 21, Olga Galkina, President of the Free Russia Foundation Natalia Arno and her two deputies Vladimir Milov and Grigory Frolov were added to the “list of terrorists and extremists” of Rosfinmonitoring.

Earlier today, June 3, it became known that Natalia Arno was also wanted. On her wanted card, she has the same phone number as Olga Galkina - this is the duty station of the Department of Internal Affairs for the Northern Administrative District of Moscow.
