Olga Vaori told her friends “it looks like I’m the beast” following the stabbing in the city of Surgut in central Russia's Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug region.
The 25-year-old was later formally detained on suspicion of “exceeding justifiable self-defence” after plunging a knife into Oleg Smirnov.
She claimed that the man had “attempted to strangle” her during a furious booze fuelled argument and she stuck the knife in him to defend herself.
Vaori received out patient treatment for minor injuries, it was reported.
Her ex-husband required emergency surgery for a knife wound to his abdomen, it was reported.
Vaori – who is allowed to serve her detention at home to care for the ex-couple’s two year old child – posted to her friends: “Guys, I stabbed my ex-husband with a knife.
“I was taken to accident and emergency for three hours.
“And only now have I cleaned up everything.
“It looks like I am a beast.”
She has no previous criminal record, according to New Day media outlet.
Police spokeswoman Olga Abmaikina said: "The woman is charged with exceeding the limits of necessary self-defence, entailing grievous bodily harm.
"She has been placed under house arrest while the investigation is ongoing."
Vaori has been forbidden from leaving her city during the criminal investigation.
She can face a sentence for up to one year if convicted of using excessive force in self defence.
