Biography
Krivonogikh was born in Leningrad, Russian SFSR (now Saint Petersburg, Russia), on 10 March 1975.

She attended Saint Petersburg State University of Economics and Finance in the Department of International Economic Relations, receiving her diploma in 2000. Krivonogikh has a daughter, Elizaveta (also known as Luiza Rozova), born on 3 March 2003. An investigation by Proekt Media published in November 2020 alleged that Elizaveta's father is Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Krivonogikh's name became known with the 2020 Proekt investigation, which documented her connection to Putin as well as her financial assets and properties in Russia. Her name became more widely known in connection with the Pandora Papers published by ICIJ in October 2021, which revealed her assets overseas.

Sanctions
In February 2023, due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Krivonogikh was sanctioned by the United Kingdom over her being a shareholder in the National Media Group which "consistently promotes the Russian assault in Ukraine".
