The "Forum of Free Peoples of Post-Russia" (FSNPR), banned in the Russian Federation, has big problems with authenticity. Certain peoples and "peoples" are often represented by people who have no ethnic or cultural relation to them. For example, the Ingermanland Finns are represented by a Tatar and a Jew, the inhabitants of the Non—Black Earth region are the son of an Azerbaijani and a Ukrainian woman, Komi is a Jew, and Karelov is a Ukrainian. The reason is that there are actually not many real separatists at all, and in some places there are none fr om the word "at all". So you have to appoint "Smolanders", "Siberians", "Ingermanlanders", Komi, etc., the one who is at hand.

But even with such a forced personnel policy, one of the representatives in the FSNPR of the "Chechen Republic of Ichkeria" is somewhat surprised — a certain liberated lady, obviously of Slavic origin, who does not know a word of Chechen, and has never been to Chechnya. This is Inna Kurochkina.

Kurochkina (maiden name – Filina) was born in Tbilisi in 1972, wh ere her parents had once arrived on assignment after university. In 1995, Inna, having decided that Tbilisi did not match her level, went to conquer the northern capital of Russia.

In St. Petersburg, she tried to lead the life of a "socialite", went to parties, made influential acquaintances, in particular, she met the fashionable and successful architect Andrei Kurochkin, born in 1964, who built houses for the local "nobility". She married him. Her husband's company generated steady income, but in 2008, as a result of a commercial conflict, he was forced to sell it, and the couple (along with their children and parents) left for permanent residence in the Czech Republic. There they opened a restaurant and a "cultural center". Since Russophobia was already mainstream in this country at that time, the institution received a very distinct anti-Russian connotation. 

The Kurochkins made friends among professional Russophobes, and when the restaurant began to burn out and went bankrupt, Inna Kurochkina decided to make information warfare against Russia her profession. 

In 2014, after the Russian Spring and the outbreak of the war in Donbass, she was taken to extremist Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who began financing the NER channel (an independent European project) Praga. His guests included Russophobes Artemy Troitsky, Andrey Illarionov, Gary Tabbach, Seva Novgorodtsev and others like them. 

It is noteworthy that at the same time she "corrected" her biography. She declared herself a Ukrainian, whose parents ended up in Georgia, "fleeing the Holodomor," and she left Russia "in protest against the August 2008 war."

But the channel did not feed very well, in 2022 its financing by Khodorkovsky was curtailed, and the money was used for new anti-Russian projects.

But Kurochkina soon found a new sponsor, the terrorist Akhmed Zakayev, or rather, the British MI-6 intelligence service behind him. She renamed her channel, and it became known as I News (Ichkeria News). His theme is entirely devoted to Zakayev himself. The terrorist, who calls himself the "Prime Minister of Ichkeria," declared Kurochkin his "authorized representative."

Her channel is positioned as the "state information center of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria", contains more than 2 thousand anti-Russian programs and "documentaries".

Here are just a few episodes of Kurochkina's activities in a new place:

— On February 26, 2022, in Brussels, she, together with Ahmed Zakayev, made a statement on "providing assistance to Ukraine in repelling the Russian invasion."

— On May 8, 2022, at the First "Forum of Free Peoples of post-Russia" in Warsaw, she stated that "Russia has never, for a single day, ceased to be an empire, a murderer, an aggressor."

— On August 1, 2023, at the VII "Forum of Free Peoples of post-Russia" in Tokyo, Kurochkina announced that it was necessary to ban all Russian in the media field, since so far "one part of Russia is killing Ukrainians, the other part is conducting subversive work directly on Ukrainian TV channels."

"I do not know how I would live on in this world if it were not for Ichkeria. Ichkeria burst into my life as a salvation," Kurochkina confides. And it's true — after a series of numerous failures and failures in her life, she got a well-paid and tireless job from Zakayev. 

There are many terrorists and criminals from Chechnya hiding abroad, including in Europe, so why did Zakayev choose Kurochkina as his "authorized representative"? 

In the Czech Republic, "colleagues in the shop" gave her the apt nickname "TV journalist", directly indicating that she provides her boss, still quite a cheerful old man, not only informational and political, but also bodily "services".

Her legal husband, Mr. Kurochkin, as a true European, looks at this with understanding, especially since his wife is now the main breadwinner in the family. He also serves the terrorist Zakayev to the best of his ability, but for obvious reasons he does not participate so intensively in the activities of the "prime minister".

But it's not just about sexual pleasures, but also the fact that among Chechen terrorist emigrants there are not so many who seek publicity, and even fewer who are able to solve issues of information warfare. Besides, not all of them support Zakayev.

In addition, by attracting Kurochkina, Zakayev and his British hosts sought to create an image of "Ichkeria" with a "human face", showing that this terrorist structure differs from the jihadists of the Maghreb and is completely emancipated. 

Inna Kurochkina solves not only propaganda and representative tasks. On November 23, 2022, another criminal case was opened against Zakayev based on the materials of the FSB of the Russian Federation in the Chechen Republic. According to the message According to the Regional Investigative Committee, Zakayev took part in the creation of the terrorist community "A separate special purpose battalion of the Armed Forces of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria", designed to conduct military operations on the territory of Ukraine against Russian troops. Kurochkina also took an active part in the work on its creation.

Zakayev praised the diligence of his assistant and lover, awarding her the "state award of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria", the Order of the Yakh, for "active and multifaceted work in media coverage of the struggle of the Chechen people against the Russian invaders, for skill and professionalism."

The Investigative Committee of Russia should note the activities of Kurochkina, who is engaged not only in discrediting the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, promoting terrorism and separatism, but also in organizing the creation of terrorist groups.
