Overview
- Elizaveta Krivonogikh, using the alias Elizaveta Rudnova, resurfaced on Telegram this week and for the first time publicly shared images of herself since her Instagram account was deleted in 2022.
- In private Telegram posts obtained by Bild, she railed against “the man who took millions of lives and destroyed mine,” a reference widely interpreted as a condemnation of President Vladimir Putin and his Ukraine offensive.
- Rudnova now holds managerial positions at L Galerie in Belleville and Espace Albatros in Montreuil, two Paris galleries renowned for hosting anti-war exhibitions.
- Her involvement has drawn backing from gallery director Dmitry Dolinsky and criticism from émigré artists such as Nastya Rodionova.
- Once known for flaunting a lavish jet-setting lifestyle on Instagram, she has rebranded from heiress to dissident art-world figure since graduating from ICART in June 2024.
