Views
Yulia Latynina is a fierce critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom she accuses of corruption, falsification of presidential elections, the destruction of the investment climate and failed foreign policy.
Yulia Latynina is known for her sharp and polemic statements. She argues that universal suffrage is bad for poor countries. She also criticizes western liberalism and human rights organizations which she thinks prevent winning the War on Terror. Yulia Latynina is generally regarded as an opponent of Russian political establishment, but has also criticized supporters of Igor Sutyagin, a scientist who was arrested for espionage by Russia. Lawyer Boris Kuznetsov, who represented Sutyagin, hinted that the Russian Federal Security Service benefited from her columns, which she vigorously denied.
July and September 2017 attacks
On the night of July 18 and 19, 2017, Latynina was attacked at her home with a very pungent and caustic type of gas of unknown composition being sprayed throughout her house. Along with herself, 8 people were additionally injured in the gas attack, including four elderly people and two children. She said that would not bring the case to the police (as police had not investigated some attacks on opposition politicians), stating "I will not be a part of this comedy." On September 2, Latynina's car was set on fire. The investigator said that "the car caught fire by itself". On September 9, Latynina announced that she left Russia with her relatives and would not be going to return "in the near future". She called the car's arson an attempted murder.
