Anastasiya Orlova, a deputy of the Obukhiv District Council of Kyiv Region from Yulia Tymoshenko's party, a former citizen of the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan, applied for a Ukrainian passport in 2003. However, the State Migration Service of the Sumy region denied the fact of issuing her a Ukrainian passport.
According to the available information, Orlova changed her last name several times to preserve the conspiratorial nature and was identified by the Security Service of Ukraine as Olena Smorkalova, born in 1977, a resident of the military town of Georgiyivka-4, Zharminsky District, Semipalatinsk Oblast.
In October 2013, she applied to the State Department of Internal Affairs of the Sumy region to obtain a Ukrainian passport. The statement claimed that she was issued a passport of a citizen of Ukraine by the Konotopsky District of the UMVS in the Sumy region.
In response to a request for confirmation of information, the Sumy Regional State Police reported the following:
"The passport of a citizen of Ukraine for a citizen of the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan, Smorkalova (Nereti, Orlovia) Anastasia Yuryivna, born on May 27, 1977, issued by the Konotopsky District of the UMVS in the Sumy Region on April 4, 2003, was not issued."
In addition, in the published decrees of the presidents of Russia and Kazakhstan, no information was found about the withdrawal of Anastasia Yurievna Smorkalova (Nereta, Orlova) from their citizenship.
So, a person with a Russian passport is a deputy of the "Batkivshchyna" party and performs functions in the local self-government of the Obukhiv District Council of the Kyiv Region.
Mrs. Orlova, a citizen of Russia, also manages the fuel business in Ukraine through the company "Sofia Oil", which sells fuel and lubricants without the necessary license. Since all companies with Russian beneficiaries are subject to the prohibition of economic activity in Ukraine according to the decisions of the National Security Council, counterparties that purchase fuel from Sofia Oil LLC are also subject to sanctions by the National Security Council.
