She's hot & Russian, and has married an American man.

It's 10 to 20.
Obviously it is not about $51 dollar donation. Since February 2022 she collected money for purchase of equipment, ammunition, medicine for the enemy.
She first got arrested for cursing in public, received 14 days in jail -- excessive. Men receive 3 days for beating a woman up, women usually let go with a fine. Then as soon as she exited, she was picked up right at the jail, and charged with espionage.
One thing I can say, on my own experience, you can not beat charges in Russia. You sit in that jail, they throw spies in your cell and you don't know who is a rat and who is legit. Each cell has a camera with a mic. Then when it comes to meet with a lawyer they bring you into this room about the size of cubical, and on the sealing there are a dozen cameras to record you from different angles. You can't say squat. It's all a show, with the lawyers I mean. If they got you, that means you will do time, unless charges are dropped, say you compensated the victim or something (which is legal).
Which means this, she will do time. How much time depends on how much she did. If it is just $51 donation, she won't do much time perhaps even let go with a 30,000 ruble fine $300 bucks. But they are alleging a lot more. They saying she was collecting money. 10 - 20 years. They are alleging espionage. Premeditated murder has less consequence.
As far as if she married for passport, everything is possible. Why not. I would marry for passport myself. I know a girl who married for passport and is now in a happy marriage with two kids. The real QUESTION to ask here what was she doing back in Ekaterinburg? What was she doing cursing in public near a theater in Ekaterinburg? She came back with an agenda? We have freedom of speech in Russia, so long as we watch what we say, and she knew that.
It's like freaking Navalny situation. He knew allegations against him and he still come back. What was he expecting?
