Russian journalist Ksenia Sobchak has reportedly left the country after warnings she and other political dissidents may have become the targets of planned contract hits similar to the murder of Boris Nemtsov, a news report said.

Sobchak announced her planned departure at a party held at Russia's literary association to celebrate the publication of a new Russian-language issue of fashion magazine L'Officiel, where Sobchak has recently taken over as editor-in-chief, Kommersant business daily reported Monday.

Journalist?

Kseniya Anatolyevna Sobchak born November 5, 1981 is a Russian TV anchor, journalist, socialite, and member of political opposition.

Sobchak became known to the wider public as a host of the reality show Dom-2 on the Russian channel TNT. She is sometimes described as Russia’s “It girl”[1] and “Russia’s Paris Hilton”.[2]

She transitioned from a celebrity socialite into a political activist, and has been protesting alleged electoral fraud by the Russian President, Vladimir Putin. Sobchak is an anchor at an independent TV channel Dozhd and a member of the Russian Opposition Coordination Council.

I would like to personally offer this poor woman sanctuary at my home. If she happens to log on to this site, I would encourage her to freepmail me to that I can provide her with information as to how to seek said aforementioned sanctuary. Unfortunately, however, I will not have room for any boyfriend. She will have to leave those behind.
