OTHER ROLES
In November 2021 she was elected to the Athletes' Commission of the Russian Olympic Committee [ROC]. "It is unexpected for me. I was nominated in 2016 too, but then I was not elected. I am glad that this time I managed to get enough votes to be elected to the ROC Athletes' Commission. For me, this is a new stage, unknown but interesting. You still have to delve into all the issues, and there are many of them - you touch on one global problem, but in order to solve it you need to cope with a number of tasks along the way." (russwimming.ru, 23 Nov 2021)
COMEBACK
In January 2015 she launched a comeback after regaining her fitness following the birth of her first child. She had not competed since winning three gold medals at the 2013 World University Games in Kazan, Russian Federation. (SportsDeskOnline, 17 May 2021; swimvortex.com, 27 Jan 2015)

He bought tickets for the last ride of the day, at midnight, and proposed once their compartment reached the highest point of its ride. (ng58.ru, 14 Aug 2012) |

While doing a step test in training in early 2013, she broke the fifth metatarsal bone in her right foot, which hampered her training and forced her to miss the 2013 World Championships in Barcelona, Spain. (sportbox.ru, 17 Nov 2013; rg.ru, 13 Nov 2013, 26 Feb 2013)
