Anastasia Udaltsova

Anastasia Olegovna Udaltsova (née Gorban; Russian: Анастасия Олеговна Удальцова; born 2 September 1978) is a Russian politician, who serves as member of the State Duma since 29 June 2022.

Born in Ukraine, Udaltsova was not a citizen of Russia until 1998, around when she moved to Moscow and became politically active on the Russian political left. In June 2022, after pressure from the party's grassroots, Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov appointed Udaltsova to the State Duma after a vacancy occurred. As a member of the Left Front, she is the only lawmaker to be part of an organisation explicitly opposed to the rule of President Vladimir Putin.
