She was Secretary of the Kemerovo regional Communist party organization.^[1]

She was an unsuccessful candidate for governor of Kemerovo Oblast in the 1997 Russian gubernatorial elections.^[2]

She unsuccessfully contested Rubtsovsk constituency at the 2016 Russian legislative election.

In July 2022, she co-sponsored a bill that would ban "the denial of family values" and the promotion of "non-traditional sexual orientations." In an interview, she further stated that "a traditional family is a union of a man and woman, it’s children, it’s a multi-generational family."^[3]^[4] In February 2025, after a 9-year-old girl in Stavropol Krai was mauled to death by a pack of stray dogs, she headed a Duma working group opposing the trap–neuter–vaccinate–return system, which would prevent local authorities from releasing captured stray animals back on the street, giving them the power to kill the strays if necessary. This led to a number of protests by animal rights activists in many Russian cities.^[5] In April, she co-authored a bill prohibiting advertising for "mystic practices, energy healing, and spiritual counselling".^[6]

She was reported as a potential candidate in the upcoming 2025 Orenburg Oblast gubernatorial election.^[7]

She was sanctioned by the UK government in 2022 in relation to the Russo-Ukrainian War.^[9]

Later, on similar grounds, she was included in the sanctions lists of the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia, Japan, Ukraine^[10], and New Zealand.^[11]
