A resident of Krasnogorsk, a pensioner. In March 2025, she was searched in a case of organising activities of an extremist organisation and participation in it because of her involvement in the movement of "citizens of the USSR". She was placed under house arrest during the investigation.
According to the prosecution, Shustanova created the association "Soviet People", which continued the activities of the interregional public organisation "Citizens of the USSR". In 2022, it was recognised as extremist (in fact, the court decision concerned the Samara group of "Citizens of the USSR"). The state prosecutor argued that the goal of the "Soviet People" was to change the political regime and the Constitution and restore the USSR. Several people allegedly joined the association, and Shustanova collected money for its activities. The pensioner herself insisted that she had nothing to do with the Samara group of "citizens of the USSR".
On 22 April 2026, the court sentenced Shustanova to seven years in a general regime colony.
