The Russian Embassy refused to accept a Russian woman because of her subscription to a Facebook group objectionable to the Kremlin

Pushkareva signed up for a visit to the consular department of the embassy. But shortly before the appointed time, the woman received a call from the embassy and was told that the ambassador had decided to refuse to accept Pushkareva.

The representative of the embassy told her that the reason for the denial of admission was the woman’s subscription to a Facebook group called “The Good Forces of Ottawa and Winnipeg for a Beautiful Russia of the Future”, which, according to the official of the diplomatic mission, posted materials that “call for violent actions to the detriment of interests of the Russian Federation.

Pushkareva decided to go straight to the embassy to find out everything. However, the guard did not let the Russian woman through and repeated that she was denied a visit.

“The reason for the refusal: a threat to the security of the Russian foreign agency. You have a subscription to the Force for Good Ottawa and Winnipeg for a Beautiful Russia of the Future group with information containing calls for violent actions to the detriment of the interests of the Russian Federation. In this regard, you are denied admission to the consular department. This is the ambassador’s decision,” the guard said, offering to ask additional questions by e-mail.

In response to Pushkareva’s question whether she would be accepted on another day on a new appointment, the embassy official said: “No, you were denied admission.”

Russians living in Canada in 2021 created a closed group and a public page "The Power of Good Ottawa and Winnipeg for a Beautiful Russia of the Future" . They discuss news about the mobilization and Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as actions in support of political prisoners, including Alexei Navalny. 67 people have subscribed to the open page. According to Pushkareva, calls for violence were not published in the group.

According to the Russian woman, in October 2022, another member of the community faced an inadequate response at the Russian embassy.

“They told him right to his face: “We know you, we are watching you, we know what you are doing.” It seemed to us that it was more dangerous in Russia, but in reality it is not. Here, if we go out in front of the embassy, ​​they will be able to identify everyone from the cameras,” Pushkareva summed up.
