- Kolobova assumed the 'Maria' alias as early as 2006 and travelled through Europe, southeast Asia and the Middle East, spending lots of time in Italy
- She settled in Naples - the home of NATO Allied Joint Force Command - where she ran a jewellery store and befriended dozens of NATO and US military officials
- Kolobova returned to Moscow in 2018 and was never caught by authorities
