Russians in Kherson kidnapped patriotic blogger Olena Naumova, who filmed TikTok videos in which she talked about life under occupation and also expressed support for Ukraine, again. The occupiers forced her to record a video of herself “repenting.”

Valery Komahorov and his girlfriend, whom the propaganda channel’s host calls “Olegivna 29,” are also among the abducted. Propaganda TV channel Perviy Respublikansky, which speaks from occupied Donetsk, called them online extremists.
On August 23, the Russian military kidnapped Olena Naumova from her home in temporarily occupied Kherson. She was released on September 6.
Her son has confirmed that she has been kidnapped again. According to Mykola, on September 19, representatives of the occupation authorities (Mykola calls them “curators”) asked Olena if she was ready to leave for the free Ukrainian territory. The woman agreed, and her relatives have not seen her since.
In the propaganda video, Naumova, a bruise under her eye, apologizes for insulting the Russian military – in Russian, which has been uncharacteristic for her lately.
“The actions of the mentioned persons were not detrimental to the ‘state security of Kherson oblast,’ therefore, after an according talk, they were issued an official warning,” the host said.
We remind that Olena Naumova filmed TikTok videos in which she talked about life under occupation and also expressed support for Ukraine.
