Thus, in May she posted a post in "Odnoklassniki": "Since yesterday there is no doubt about the real existence of such units as the Legion "Freedom of Russia" and the "Russian Volunteer Corps" (RDK). Citizens of Russia with weapons in their hands, risking their own lives, are fighting for another Russia, free from the current regime. Since yesterday, a new bright page in modern Russian history has been opened - the transition of the armed opposition of Putin's regime to active open actions on the territory of the Russian Federation itself, and the topic of the existence of "good Russians" has been closed. We are happily following what is happening and wish them every success in their struggle". She later published two more similar posts.
