She was placed under a preventive measure in the form of a ban on certain actions.

She was listed as a member of the publication, despite having ceased her involvement in 2022. Following this, she was fined three times under administrative provisions on violations of “foreign agent” legislation, owing to the absence of the required “foreign agent” labelling in 7×7’s publications.
