Russian actress Aglaya Tarasova was detained at Domodedovo airport outside
Moscow on 28 August 2025 after arriving from Israel.[1]Officers found 0.4
grams of cannabis oil in an electronic smoking device, a vape, and the amount
was treated as a significant quantity under Russian law.[1]
A criminal case over drug smuggling was opened on the fact of the incident,
under part 1 of article 229.1 of the Criminal Code, which covers smuggling of
narcotic drugs.[1]She was charged with that offence, which carries three to
seven years in prison and a fine of up to one million rubles, or a fine equal to
her salary or other income for up to five years.[1]
On 5 November 2025 Tarasova pleaded guilty in full at the Domodedovo City Court
under part 1 of article 229.1, and the hearing was adjourned to 26 November
because prosecution witnesses did not appear.[2]
The account of the arrest came from the Mash Telegram channel, and The Moscow
Times reported that the arrest date was disputed, with some
law-enforcement-linked channels saying she was detained “two days ago”.[3]

URA.RUura.newsRUРаскрыты детали задержания звезды «Беспринципных» Тарасовой в Домодедово
Meduzameduza.ioRUАглая Тарасова признала вину по делу о наркотиках. У нее нашли вейп с гашишным маслом, когда она прилетела в Домодедово
Accounts differ slightly on the amount: URA.RU and Mash report 0.4 grams of cannabis oil, while Meduza, citing TASS, and most outlets report 0.38 grams of hashish oil after laboratory testing; the report uses 0.38 g and keeps 0.4 g in the text
The Moscow Times reported that the arrest date was disputed, with law-enforcement-linked Telegram channels saying she was detained "two days ago"; the majority of opened accounts, including Meduza and URA.RU, give 28 August 2025 and the report uses that date
Meduza's account of the stop is drawn from TASS and Russian media reports rather than a published customs or Investigative Committee statement
The amount is below the 1 gram figure that Russian law generally treats as a significant quantity of hashish oil; media accounts attribute the "significant quantity" characterisation to Mash, and no sentencing document confirming that classification was opened
