The card blocking became an obstacle in raising funds to support Varvara Kosheleva after the beating.

The bank blocked the card that was used to collect funds to help Varvara Kosheleva, who was beaten after working on the elections for the candidate from "Yabloko." Kosheleva had previously participated in a campaign demanding an investigation into the disappearance of Seda Suleymanova.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", on May 20, it became known that Moscow resident Varvara Kosheleva, who actively participated in the campaign to support Seda Suleymanova, faced persecution: twice at night, unknown individuals attempted to enter her apartment. The first incident occurred during the signature collection in support of Suleymanova, and the second on the night of May 19. "Unknown people were trying to break in, and they quickly ran away as soon as other people entered the floor," the activist said. Kosheleva refused to file reports regarding these incidents.

Information about the fundraising to support Varvara Kosheleva was shared in her Telegram channel by Seda Suleymanova's friend Lena Patyaeva. She reported that Varvara Kosheleva was beaten. "Varya is one of the organizers of last year's signature collection campaign addressed to the Presidential Administration regarding Seda. Her contribution to the work was invaluable. This beating is not related to that campaign, however, if you have the opportunity and desire to help, I would be very grateful. Due to the beating, Varya is currently unable to work and cannot even leave the house, and the costs for treatment and legal proceedings will be significant. Therefore, she has opened a fundraising campaign," the message stated.

Kosheleva herself reported in her Telegram channel on September 30 that the card used for fundraising was closed by the bank, and she and her husband were forced to change the account details.

The head of the campaign for the "Yabloko" candidate Anna Shatunovskaya-Burno, Varvara Kosheleva, told the "Word for Protection" project on September 22 that she was first beaten during the vote counting at polling station No. 1046 in Moscow.

"They physically attacked me there during the violation of the vote counting procedure. The commission did not fill out the final protocol to alter the numbers. Now I am in the hospital with bruises for a medical examination," Kosheleva said.

The "Yabloko" candidate, 51-year-old lawyer Anna Shatunovskaya-Burno, ran for the State Duma in the Preobrazhensky single-member district No. 204 against, among others, United Russia member Vladislav Tretyak and ultimately took third place. The candidate stated that she and Kosheleva were not allowed into the district commission before the meeting to summarize the results, which, according to her, meant they could no longer file reports of violations. Now Shatunovskaya-Burno is preparing to challenge the results and actions of the commission members in court, "Word for Protection" reported on September 22.

After that, Varvara Kosheleva and her husband were beaten outside their home. According to them, the attack was carried out by men who identified themselves as participants in the special military operation. They called the activist and her husband "traitors of the nation."

Doctors recorded soft tissue bruises on Kosheleva's head, swelling of the soft tissue of the nose, and multiple bruises on her face. The activist also complained of headaches, dizziness, and nausea, RusNews reported on September 27.

On the same day, Kosheleva reported that she, along with Shatunovskaya-Burno, was preparing more extensive materials on election fraud. "Due to the incident with the beating, this work had to be postponed. For now, it is difficult for me to even write long messages, but as soon as I recover a bit, I will definitely resume work!" she promised.

On September 29, Varvara reported that she was not getting better. "At night, I was taken away again by ambulance when friends brought me to the trauma center for a re-examination (a repeat, since on the first day in the hospital, I was not given documents recording all injuries). And although I am trying to continue working related to the elections, I still cannot leave the house and will hardly be able to work productively in the near future. As far as I remember, I have never raised money for myself personally; I have raised for other purposes: for elections, for projects, for other people. Therefore, I feel extremely uncomfortable, but I fear that the courts and treatment will take a significant amount of money from me during this temporary incapacity to work," she explained, providing the account details.
