A Russian woman who survived an echocardiogram said, "My sin is that I'm her friend".

A Russian woman with Slovenian citizenship has publicly addressed recent allegations linking her to intelligence services, stating, “My sin is that I am her friend.” The comments were made during an interview with Mladina, where she denied working for Russian or other intelligence agencies and described herself as merely a tool used against President Natasa Pirc Musar. The woman, known as Krivolucka, has been under scrutiny following reports suggesting she may have collaborated with Russian intelligence. She categorically rejected these claims, insisting, “I can say it a hundred times, I am not what they say I am, and some will never believe me.” Despite the accusations, she acknowledged that she was not the primary target, explaining, “I am just the weapon they use against Nataša.” She further emphasized that she had no knowledge of classified documents, political strategies, or secret communications, noting that Pirc Musar maintained a clear distinction between friendship and professional duty. Krivolucka shared her personal history, revealing she was born in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, and studied economics before working in trade, where she encountered Roman Jeglic, who later became her husband. Their relationship began in the early 1990s, though she claimed she was unaware of his involvement with the Ljubljana police department. They eventually moved to Slovenia, where she took on roles facilitating business ties between the region and Russia. In 2007, she was involved in a traffic accident that resulted in the death of a motorcyclist, leading to a criminal trial. During her time in prison, she attempted to rebuild her life by taking up bowling, a sport she had previously played in Russia. It was through this activity that she met Pirc Musar, who offered emotional support and even lent her money for food. Pirc Musar also advised her on legal matters, including how to navigate her status as a foreigner. After her release, she worked briefly for Pirc Musar’s family, initially as a domestic helper in one of Ljubljana’s hotels. With a personal work permit, she later found employment in a company manufacturing elevators, which sought to expand into the Russian market. Pirc Musar’s family also helped her secure housing. In 2012, they assisted in finding long-term rental accommodation, allowing her to pay rent once she could afford it. Throughout this period, she continued to cover all living expenses while adhering to the terms of a long-term lease agreement with a Russian entity, which became the landlord of her apartment starting in 2015. Currently, she works as an accountant for the Free Trade Unions Association and continues to serve as a procurator for Ruska Dacha. She is also active in a company called NET PRO SHOP, which sells bowling equipment. Her participation in the Slovenian Bowling Federation led to her representing the country at international competitions, where she won five medals at the Mediterranean Championships and competed twice at the European Championships. She confirmed that she underwent security checks, stating, “Sova officially confirmed that they checked me and did not find any special features.” She last visited Russia in 2024 and maintains contact with friends, former classmates, and her family.
