Person information
Deputy Editor of the pro-Russian publication "Strana.ua"
From February 2016 to October 2022, she was the deputy chief editor of "Strana.ua," which most experts consider pro-Russian. She hosted a program on the NewsONE TV channel together with Ihor Guzhva — at that time, the channel belonged to former regional deputy Yevhen Murayev.
In 2017, she personally posted bail for "Strana" founder Ihor Guzhva, who was prosecuted for extorting $10,000 from a politician to prevent compromising material about him from appearing on the site.
Instead of journalistic ethics — spreading fakes
According to the "Chesno" movement, she spread fakes about forced Ukrainization and fines for speaking Russian, and called information about a possible Russian attack on the eve of the full-scale invasion "Anglo-Saxon disinformation."
Under sanctions for 10 years
In January 2025, Zelensky signed a decree imposing sanctions against Kryukova for 10 years — including asset blocking, prohibition of capital withdrawal, and restrictions on property management rights. Kryukova challenged the decision in the Supreme Court, calling it political persecution.

How does a pro‑Russian media figure evade sanctions and profit from kompromat and Dnipro’s budget? How much did Korban invest in his protege to preserve their wealth? How many oligarchs went bankrupt and started struggling after sanctions were imposed? None. In Ukraine, these restrictions often remain merely formal. 📌A striking example is the former deputy editor‑in‑chief of the pro‑Russian outlet Strana.ua, Svitlana #Крюкова, who despite having her assets frozen is suing #РНБО, complains about...

… I was told about guitarist Mykytas’s romance with Mudra by a Viennese acquaintance about five months ago. He’s quite the gossip, and at the time I thought he was joking. It seemed to me that if a woman’s heart let such a ladies’ man in, the Office’s security service never would. After all, you can’t just let such a capable operator, a record-holder for the number of cases at NABU, close to a high-ranking official of the “Tower” — someone whose fate seems to be written “go cooperate with the bu...
