Anna Rivina established Nasiliu.net in 2015 as a media project which collected all the available information on domestic violence in Russia on a website and also launched social media campaigns with Russian celebrities. In her interviews Anna told that she had been inspired by the article by a Russian journalist Anna Zhavnerovich who wrote about her own experience of domestic violence[5].
In April 2018 Nasiliu.net was registered with the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation, and in September 2019 the Center opened its own office in Moscow[6]. In December 2020 Nasiliu.net was declared to be a ‘foreign agent’ by the Russian Ministry of Justice[7]. In February 2021 the landlord told the NGO to vacate the office within a month [8][9]. In April 2021 the organization was also fined for breaching a 'foreign agent' law [10].
In January 2021, Anna Rivina joined the Pen&Paper Bar Association as a special advisor on gender issues[11].
In June 2021, Rivina made her debut as a morning show host on the independent Russian channel
TV Rain[12].
On 10 February 2023 the Russian Ministry of Justice added Rivina to the list of 'foreign agents’ personally claiming that she distributed 'false information about the activities of the Russian authorities and negative information about the Russian Defense Ministry' [13]. After that Anna was deported from Georgia where she was living at that time [14][15]
Now Anna continues running Nasiliu.net from abroad. In 2023 the Center started working not only in-person in Moscow, but also online throughout Russia[16].
Awards
In December 2018, Anna Rivina was included in the list of 100 Outstanding People of 2018 according to Expert magazine[17].
In March 2019, Anna became an ambassador for Levi's I Shape My World campaign about women who change the world [18].
In June 2019, RBC magazine included Anna Rivina in the list of 20 young and promising Russians who are driving the country forward[19].
In May 2020, Anna was included in the
Forbes 30 Under 30 ranking of the most successful young people in the Social Practices category[20].
In March 2021, Anna Rivina became the first woman from Russia whose photo was placed on the cover of the
Time magazine[21]. Before that, there had appeared a photo of
Raisa Gorbacheva, but it was in the times of the Soviet Union, and a picture of the
Pussy Riot group, which was an illustration — not a photo. The edition contained the article Russia’s Leaders Won’t Deal With a Domestic Violence Epidemic. These Women Stepped Up Instead[22], which told about Nasiliu.net and other NGOs protecting domestic violence survivors in Russia.
