Ksenia Karelina, a 34-year-old with dual citizenship in Russia and the United States, is currently facing charges of treason in Russia. These charges stem from her donation of $50 to a Ukrainian charity, seen by Russian authorities as supporting Ukraine’s military against Russia.
Despite efforts from her family and boyfriend, Chris Van Heerden, to seek assistance from the U.S. government and raise funds for her defense, Karelina struggles to find legal representation in Russia. Her arrest has raised concerns about the risks for Americans in Russia.
Karelina, originally from Yekaterinburg, pursued a career in modeling and spa aesthetics in Los Angeles, where she also pursued her passion for ballet.
However, her life took a drastic turn when she was detained during a trip back to Russia, altering the course of her journey and leaving her facing a potential 20-year prison sentence.
