A neurologist by profession, she was previously an activist with the Independent Association of Doctors. In November 2023, her home was searched. She was accused of participating in the activities of a non-profit organization related to violence against citizens or otherwise causing harm to their health. That day, subsequent actions took place in several regions, including at the homes of activists linked to the All-People's Union for the Revival of Russia (APVR).
On August 28, 2024, Lushavina's home was searched in connection with a case of public justification of terrorism. A video was published on the Telegram channel "#Razoblucheno" (#Exposéd) in which Lushavina says she was beaten. She was taken in for interrogation, during which she felt unwell. An ambulance arrived quickly and took her to the hospital, but law enforcement officers demanded that the head doctor prohibit her hospitalization.
The next day Lushavina was taken into custody.
On 20 October 2025, Lushavina's preventive measure was changed to prohibit certain actions.
