“She’s just that kind of person,” Karelina’s former mother-in-law Eleonara Srebroski, 56, tells The Independent. “If somebody needs help, she will be helping. Whether it’s an animal, or a child, or a grown-up, she’s the one who is always opening her heart and her wallet.”
According to Russian human rights activists, Karelina – also known as Ksenia Khavana, after her first husband – was arrested on public order charges in late January outside a cinema in Yekaterinburg, before being charged with treason this month.
The country’s notorious Federal Security Service (FSB) claimed in a statement this week that an unnamed woman, later identified by Russian media as Karelina, had been “proactively collecting funds” for the Ukrainian war effort.
Now Srebroski has a stark message for the government and people of her former daughter-in-law’s adopted nation.
“If we do not do anything, she is going to die in jail,” she says. “She does not have any hope to get out, because they do not have any justice [in Russia]. And if we as a country do not help her to come back here, to where she is... we’re going to lose a beautiful person.”
Ksenia Karelina appeared in Srebroski’s life back in 2012, when she visited the older woman’s Baltimore home with Srebroski’s son Evgeny Khavana. The young woman had come to the USA from Russia on a work and travel programme, where she met Evgeny. As it happened, she and Srebroski originally came from the same region: the Ural mountains, of which Yekaterinburg is the district capital.

Man who turned Pep down could be key for Southgate
Cole Palmer can seem like the missing link for England, the footballer who can give them something they are lacking. And as Gareth Southgate's side still miss a left-footer who can play left-back, who is capable of contributing in the final third, there came an unexpected revelation.
