Los Angeles Ballerina Arrested In Russia On Treason Charges

Ksenia Carolina, a ballerina, was arrested in Russia on treason charges.

A Los Angeles ballerina's boyfriend revealed that she had no fear before returning to Russia for the first time in years, only to be arrested on treason charges. The boyfriend recalled the last moments before her arrest, mentioning her excitement and relief as she prepared to go home. However, the situation took a drastic turn as she disappeared after arriving in Russia.

The ballerina, identified as Ksenia Carolina, holds dual U.S. and Russian citizenship. She allegedly made a donation of $51.80 to a Ukrainian charity from the U.S., as reported by the California spa where she was employed. This seemingly innocuous act has led to serious consequences, with Russian authorities accusing her of treason.

If convicted in Russia, Carolina could potentially face up to 20 years in prison. The incident has left her loved ones shocked and concerned about her well-being. The boyfriend's account of her demeanor before the arrest paints a picture of someone unaware of the impending trouble.

The sequence of events unfolded on a Friday morning in Russia, corresponding to Thursday night in the U.S. The boyfriend went to bed expecting to hear from Carolina, only to wake up to silence. The sudden turn of events has left many questioning the circumstances surrounding her arrest and the severity of the charges brought against her.
