An activist from the Altai Republic. On 26 August 2025, she was added to the Rosfinmonitoring list of "terrorists and extremists" with a specific designation used for those prosecuted under terrorism-related charges.
On 24 September, a search was conducted at her home, after which she was detained in a criminal case involving public calls for terrorism over certain video messages.
