march" in Moscow, 12 June 2019 roundtable discussion on changes in legislation devoted to fighting torture in Russia, 21 January 2022 As a member of the
Presidential Council for Civil Society and Human Rights, Schulmann contributed to the protection of the people accused under the after
2019 Moscow protests. She publicly opposed their charges under
civil disorder article 212 of the
Russian Criminal Code, visited the arrested in detention centers and helped with legal defense in court. When MSSES rector
Sergey Zuev was arrested in October 2021, Schulmann publicly spoke out in his defense, signed a collective letter in his support and waited in front of the courthouse during sessions to show her support along with other Zuev's friends and colleagues. On January 31, 2021, Schulmann's husband was detained during a protest rally in support of
Alexei Navalny in Moscow. On 12 April 2022, Schulmann announced that she was offered a fellowship by the
Robert Bosch Stiftung and left Russia for Germany to work as an associate professor, stating that she was not moving away indefinitely. As explained by Schulmann, it means she cannot return to Russia, because as a designated foreign agent, any public appearances and teaching are practically impossible for her to conduct there. In February 2025, an investigation was initiated against Schulmann under Article 20.33 of the
Code on Administrative Offenses for her involvement in an
undesirable organization. In March 2025, the Russian
internal ministry declared her a wanted fugitive. == Family ==
