With the outbreak of full-scale war, she decided not to leave for a safer country but to volunteer. In addition to her main job (SMM and graphic design), Pelageya evacuates civilians and coordinates volunteer efforts in response to missile strikes.
Pelageya was always in touch with her parents, didn't hide her activities, and sent them videos. Tatyana and Dmitry's daughter believes that "their only 'crime' was that I was in Ukraine, and we stayed in touch, calling each other. And my parents were worried about me. It turns out that's what the services were using as a basis for their wild imagination."
