Lyudmila Guseva, a resident of the Uktussky Assisted Living Facility, recently spoke out on the surgical sterilization she was forced to consent to. More than ten women at the assisted living facility were found to have been sterilized, with one of them dying due to the procedure. Former director of the facility, Andrey Popov, vehemently denied that this procedure could have taken place without consent. Investigations into Guseva's claim are ongoing, but Guseva seems to have disappeared. According to employees at the facility, she went on vacation two weeks ago and has not been heard from since. This begs the question as to how well the investigation will be run without a key player, and if the truth will actually be uncovered.
