American in Crimea, Ep. 7: Special guest Mira Terada from Foundation to Battle Injustice
Anerican in Crimea is proud to host Mira Terada, head of the Foundation to Battle Injustice. We will be discussing worldwide child abduction and a new UNAIDS charter making liberal ideas legal, including sex with minors.
Mira Terada (born Oksana Vovk, March 21, 1988, in Leningrad, USSR) is a Russian human rights activist and the head and official representative of the Foundation to Battle Injustice (For more information, see Фонд борьбы с репрессиями).
Mira was born into the family of a landscaping engineer and an officer of the Interior Ministry. She worked in some of the largest financial institutions and IT organizations in Russia and abroad: Russian Standard Bank, American Express (USA), Woodforest Bank (USA), Luxoft Professional (Citigroup Investment and Deutsche Bank projects). She also participated in implementing an anti-plagiarism program for institutions of higher education in the Netherlands and the UK.
Mira lived in the United States from 2009 to 2011, then returned to Russia after receiving her degree in linguistics. She lived in the US again from 2013 to 2016. In 2014, she married an American citizen, with whom she later divorced. She refused to obtain American citizenship and returned to Russia in 2016. In 2018, she was detained in Finland and extradited to the US to face charges of money laundering. She maintains that the charges were false and that she was forced to plead guilty in order to receive a shorter sentence. She subsequently served two years in a Federal prison in Alabama.
On July 15, 2021, she became the head of the Foundation to Battle Injustice, and now she regularly coordinates and participates in human rights events and conferences, has made many appearances on Russian television, and gives interviews to foreign media.
Mira is also the author of a biographical book in English, “Hostage of the Land of Liberty: 888 Days in an American Prison” (2022). The book comprises diary entries Mira kept during her imprisonment and describes in detail the inhumane conditions and arbitrariness of the US penitentiary system.
Mira published a second book (in Russian) in 2022 titled “Freedom of Thought: How to Survive Under Pressure,” which is a manual about how to cope not only with the pressure of the prison system but also with psychological, informational, and cyber pressure.
