The Russian journalist has previously worked for several lifestyle magazines, such as Time Out Moscow and In Style, writes The Guardian.

Since then, she started working more politically, and started as a producer in the Anti-Corruption Fund. The organization was established in Moscow in 2011 by the now imprisoned Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny.

Baulina was arrested, among other things, when Russian police stormed the Anti-Corruption Fund’s headquarters in Moscow.

She was later forced to leave the country, when Russian authorities classified the organization as extremist.

That was when she started working for The Insider and CODA Storyes.

The Russian woman is not the first journalist to have been killed in Ukraine since the Russian invasion. The organization Reporters Without Boarders (RSF) has recorded a total of four killings of journalists so far. In addition, seven have been injured.
