Krasikov is the author of the novel The Patriots,[2] which explores the tangled relationship between Russia and America through the perspectives of one American family moving back and forth between continents over three generations.

The novel's main character, Florence Fein, makes a reverse immigration from Brooklyn to Moscow during the Great Depression.

Krasikov's debut short story collection, One More Year, released in 2008, first drew critical acclaim for its exploration of the lives of Russian and Georgian immigrants who had settled in the United States.

In her stories, which appeared first in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Zoetrope and other magazines, one catches a glimpse of the new twenty-first century moment that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union.

It was written after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and depicts divisions within families and friends, and includes a Russian-Ukrainian mixed marriage.
