Natalia became famous back in 2017, when the independent press reported on her problem. A woman with a third-degree disability, who could not get a job due to medical restrictions, was about to be evicted from her home for debts. Previously, Natalia worked in a construction company, but after she was diagnosed with epilepsy, doctors wrote a list of work restrictions. After a public outcry, the authorities withdrew the lawsuit, and Natalia was able to pay off her debts with the help of Nobel laureate, writer Svetlana Alexievich. After that, she constantly helped the Gomel resident, and many other caring people joined in the help.
In September, Natalia was caught by the security forces - she was detained for "extremist" subscriptions. The same judge who would try the woman on criminal charges punished her with a fine for an administrative offense. The Gomel resident was forced to star in a "repentant" video, in which she did not repent, and when asked how she felt about the authorities, she directly answered: "Badly." After that, she was released on bail.
She also talked about all this on social networks, and in her last post she wrote that they came to take her into custody - as part of a criminal case. Natalia also posted a photo with cut veins on her hand.
