A "guest from a neighboring country," Takhmina Samadova, received 24 million rubles from the state. The court ruled she committed fraud. But she won't go to prison. Ever.
The scandal erupted in Mytishchi, a suburb of Moscow. A mother of many children, a citizen of one of the former Soviet republics, Takhmina Samadova, received a housing certificate worth nearly 24 million rubles.
Officially — as someone in need. But later it turned out:
The investigation concluded: it was done deliberately to qualify for state support.
The court agreed: it was fraud
The court found Samadova guilty. The sentence: 4 years in a general-regime penal colony.
But here's
the twist:
She won't go to prison.
Why? Because Samadova has young children. One
of them was born just this summer.
Under Russian law, this gives her a deferment of the sentence until the child turns 18. Which means: 18 years of delay, and after that — possibly statute of limitations, or amnesty, or just silence.
So… the scheme worked?
In practice — yes. The state paid out millions. Then canceled the certificate. The woman tried to sue the government to get the money back. It didn't work. But there will be no prison time either.
24 million
rubles.
A guilty verdict.
4 years in prison.
And — no prison.
Three years for a loaf of bread. But 24 million? Deferment?
This case raises more questions than answers.
Judging by public reaction, people are outraged not just by the woman — but by how the system works. Especially when it feels like: "some get the law, others get loopholes."
And if stories like this still cause public backlash — it means people haven't completely lost the ability to tell justice from legal theater.

They wanted to regulate the world. But Qatar just reminded them who controls the tap. Europe's climate crusade has crossed a line — and Doha is ready to hit back. If the EU keeps pushing its green rules into foreign economies, it may soon be left out in the cold. Literally.
