She is an activist and RusNews journalist from Ufa. The Interior Ministry and other security agencies have regularly filed lawsuits against Komleva related to her participation in rallies in support of Navalny in 2021. The law enforces hope to sue her for fuel spent, off-the-clock work by employees during the rallies, and over other expenses. In January 2023 alone, the number of such lawsuits reached seven. Some of the lawsuits have already been granted by the courts. Thus, at the end of July 2023, Komleva was charged 23 thousand rubles in favor of the medical unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After the satisfaction of this claim, the bailiffs also confiscated her car. On March 27, 2024, law enforcers came to Komleva's home ordering her to appear for questioning for some criminal case, but she was not served with a summons. Later the same day, law enforcers came to her again, this time with an order to bring her in for questioning in the case against Alexei Navalny's structures as a witness. Despite the absence of a summons earlier, the ruling stated that summonses had been sent to Komleva "repeatedly". At the moment of detention, a law enforcer offered the journalist to pack some essentials. When she asked whether she was going to be arrested, he replied that neither he nor even the investigator could say so. Already in the building of the Investigative Committee Komleva was charged in a case of "extremist community". On March, 28, Komleva was taken into custody. As Olga Komleva herself repeatedly reported earlier, she has type 2 diabetes, in which detention is contraindicated. In July 2024 it became known that Komleva was also accused of spreading "fakes" about the Armed Forces.
