Nadya, Maria, and at least one other person, the terrific documentary filmmaker Taisiya Krugovykh, attacked when they arrived in Nizhny Novgorod to work on prison issues there. They were sprayed with green ointment, but thats the least of it. A metal jar of the stuff, lobbed at Maria, caused a laceration, requiring stitches, and a concussion. Someone sprayed Nadyas eyes with an acid of some sort, using a syringe. She writes here that she couldnt see anything for 10 minutes and then her vision returned but her eyes are burned.
