Tajikistani Woman Faces Fraud Charges in Russia After Housing Certificate Revoked

A Tajikistani woman, Tahmina Samadova, is at the center of a controversy in Russia. She received a 24 million ruble housing certificate from the Mytishchi city administration. However, this sparked outrage among Russian nationalists, who accused her of fraud. Consequently, the certificate was revoked, and Samadova now faces criminal charges. "The Investigative Committee of Russia opened a new criminal case against her," reports Asia-Plus. Samadova maintains her innocence and has appealed the decision. The case highlights rising nationalist sentiment in Russia and the challenges faced by immigrants.
