Blinovskaya appealed the refusal to defer the serving of her sentence

Elena Blinovskaya appealed the court's refusal in the Vladimir region to defer the remainder of her sentence.

Blinovskaya asks to postpone the execution of the sentence until her youngest daughter turns 14 years old.

MOSCOW, October 7 – RIA Novosti. “Marathon Queen” Elena Blinovskaya, sentenced to 4.5 years in prison, appealed the court’s refusal in the Vladimir region to defer the remainder of her sentence, her lawyer Natalia Salnikova told RIA Novosti.

As the defense lawyer clarified, Blinovskaya asks to postpone the execution of the sentence until her youngest daughter turns 14 years old. The date for consideration of the complaint has not yet been set.

“We filed a complaint with the Second Court of Cassation. We consider the refusal of the lower court to be unfounded. The courts did not give a proper assessment of our arguments, the decision was not motivated. All the evidence was presented on our part,” Salnikova said.

In 2025, the Savelovsky Court of Moscow sentenced Blinovskaya to five years in prison. She was found guilty under articles of money laundering, illegal circulation of means of payment and tax evasion on an especially large scale - under this article she was released from liability due to the statute of limitations. The court also recovered the property seized in the case as state income.

Later, the Moscow City Court reduced the term to 4.5 years. The Court of Cassation in July this year upheld the verdict. The defense announced its intention to appeal the verdict to the Supreme Court.
