In April, the woman was fired because of her anti-war stance from the Omsk clinical cardiology dispensary, where she worked as a psychologist. Belova posted on her VKontakte page a video of a conversation with Olga Korenova, the head doctor, and the head of the human resources department. In the video they say that the Ministry of Health has received an order to dismiss the activist, so she has to choose between work and politics. The publication of the video became a formal reason for the cancellation of the contract: the dispensary management believed that Belova had disclosed personal data by showing what Korenova looked like. Later, the court refused to reinstate her to her job. On the night of November 2, Belova was taken to the Centre "E", where she was taken explanations about the next anti-war publications, then released without protocol. In December 2023, it became known that Belova was declared wanted, and for the second time - previously she was declared wanted in connection with some operational-search activities (ORM), that is, even before the initiation of a criminal case. On 4 May 2024, Belova was sentenced in absentia to six years in prison.
