On the eve of commemorative dates and public events, Russian law enforcement officials regularly resort to so-called “preventive measures” against activists, journalists, and public figures in Crimea, “Crimean Solidarity” informs. The document states that the police allegedly have information about the journalist’s possible actions that could create conditions for committing offenses. At the same time, the warning does not specify exactly what actions are being referred to or what offenses she is accused of. Lutfiie Zudiieva disagreed with the warning and made a written comment in the document. “ The Counter-Extremism Center considers such warnings to be a preventive measure, but in practice they can be used in various ways. Over the years of my work as a human rights activist and journalist, I have seen plenty of similar documents, and often they do not contain a specific description of the alleged offense. It seems that their purpose is to create a so-called chilling effect, where people begin to refrain even from lawful actions—such as publications, comments, or civic engagement—out of fear of further persecution,” Lutfiie noted. This is not the first case of such “preventive” measures being taken against the journalist. She has been previously served with similar warnings and has also been held administratively liable for publishing journalistic materials. It should be recalled that the Russian authorities added Ms. Zudiieva to the “foreign agents” registry in May 2025, and she is still attempting to appeal this decision in court. The human rights activist’s case was the first one in which the occupying authorities have used this law to put pressure on Crimean Tatars.
