Political views and activism

In 2014, she criticised Russian politicians for their military intervention in Ukraine.[10] On April 9 she said that she would like to teach patriotism in her classes but only if she can do it her way, referring to mass deportation of Crimean Tatars in World War II which according to her is still not a part of curriculum.[11] On March 2, 2014, she and her daughter took part in an anti-war picket in front of the Ministry of Defence in Moscow. They were detained and brought to Meshchanskoe police station with more than 15 other protesters, where they were held for longer than the legally permitted three hours. Later she told journalists, that she and her daughter escaped through the window.[12]

On August 31, 2014, she criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin for disregarding the rule of law.[13]

In April 2021, Eidelman wrote an open letter asking the Moscow office of Doctors Without Borders to help politician Alexei Navalny, then imprisoned in a penal colony in Pokrov. The letter was signed by approximately two thousand people.[14]

On April 26, 2021, Eidelman was detained by police, as stated, 'to investigate the violation of procedures for holding a [public] meeting'. The remand was allegedly connected with a demonstration in support of Alexei Navalny on 21 April, but Eidelman was not connected to the organizers.[15]

In 2022, she condemned the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and left the country.[16][17]
