Since the start of the Ukraine war, a Russian influencer who lives in Landshut has been shaking heads on the internet.
The police have now denied their deportation.
Landshut – Your videos caused head shaking, anger and speechlessness on the internet: A young Russian woman who lives in Landshut with her partner uploaded numerous videos to TikTok in which she glorified Russia's war in Ukraine.
She laughs scornfully at scenes in which bombs fall in Ukrainian cities, stands in front of Ukrainian demonstrators with a Russian flag, and mocks refugees from the war zone on the street.
In mid-October it was reported that the police searched her home and confiscated a laptop and cell phones, among other things.
Russia influencer deported?
police denied
The 30-year-old Russian has been under investigation since May 2022.
The Kremlin activist was well aware of this – with a police summons, she wiped her butt, filmed it and posted the video on the Internet.
After the police became active in October, the news circulated that the woman, who was in Germany without a residence permit, had been deported.
Several media had reported this, and numerous videos that were supposed to show the deportation at an airport made the rounds on Twitter.
The police have now denied all of this.
"She is still in Germany," said a spokesman for the Landshut public prosecutor's office on Tuesday, November 22nd.

Russian influencer continues in Landshut – no hate videos since October
Deportations from Germany to Russia are currently suspended, the spokesman said.
But one thing has changed: on her TikTok channel, where she uploaded her inflammatory videos, nothing has changed since October 10 – no new video has appeared, no new comment from the 30-year-old.
In addition, the spokesman for the public prosecutor's office stated that the evaluation of the files on their devices was still ongoing.
It is therefore not yet complete - the result is open.
