The wife of Deputy Prosecutor General Maksym Krym and her parents received Russian passports in April 2014 — after the start of the occupation of Crimea.
These data were clarified by Slidstvo.Info thanks to the KibOrg project, which found them in Russian databases.
Maksym Krym is one of the deputy prosecutors general. By law, under current conditions, when the Prosecutor General and his First Deputy are absent, he can head the Office of the Prosecutor General.
Sources at LIGA.net report that it was Maksym Krym who approved the decision to remove from the Unified Register of pre-trial investigations the information about the suspicion of the director of NABU, Semen Kryvan ono s, which was signed by then Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko.
According to Slidstvo.Info editorial, Maksym Krym’s wife Anna Krym — received a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation 2 in April 2014. The document lists registration in Sevastopol.
Her father Vyacheslav Yushkov and mother Larisa Yushkova received Russian passports 30 in April 2014. Both were also registered in Sevastopol. It should be noted that after 18 March, Russia rolled out forced passportization in Crimea and essentially issued its passports to all Crimeans. Those who wanted to keep Ukrainian citizenship had to personally submit a refusal to obtain a Russian passport at specified migration service points.
As of 2026, information about Anna Krym’s Russian passport remains current. At the same time, the editors were unable to determine whether she annulled this passport or whether she currently uses it.
In 2014, Maksym Krym served in the Military Prosecutor’s Office of the Crimean region. According to then Chief Military Prosecutor Anatoliy Matiy os, in spring 2014, Krym together with Ruslan Kravchenko destroyed documents of the Crimean Prosecution Office with supervision over the military sphere and left for the mainland Ukraine. Matiy os shared this with Babbel.
Anna Krym is a native of Sevastopol. We obtained crossing records from registers. After receiving the Russian passport, she continued traveling to Crimea from mainland Ukraine, presumably to her parents who remained living in Sevastopol. The last departure from Armiansk was in October 2015.
Her father Vyacheslav Yushkov wrote in his profile on Odnoklassniki in 2016 that 30 years he worked at sea, and at the time of the post — a security guard at «Sevteplosety».
Anna Krym’s mother Larisa Yushkova writes about spiritual practices on social media and is interested in related topics in Telegram channels. According to available data, Larisa Yushkova flew to Russia from 2015 to 2021.
We also searched for Maksym and Anna Krym’s profiles on social networks. Among the found items is Anna Krym’s inactive profile on Odnoklassniki with photos from 2012.
Slidstvo.Info reached out to Maksym Krym to clarify whether he knew about his wife’s and her parents’ Russian passports, what relations he has with them, and whether he maintains contact with relatives living in Crimea.
Editors also attempted to obtain comments from Anna Krym and her mother Larisa Yushkova.
Separately, journalists sent inquiries to the Office of the Prosecutor General and the Security Service of Ukraine. We asked the SBU whether they checked Maksym Krym given the presence of Russian citizenship among his relatives and what the results of such a check were.
As of the time of publication, the editors had not received responses from Maksym Krym, Anna Krym, Larisa Yushkova, the Office of the Prosecutor General, or the SBU.
