Views and Evaluations. The position of the Minister of Finance of the ARC ended in a scandal - after being detained by the Prosecutor's Office for 'abuse of office'. Denisova had to spend even a day in prison at that time. According to the most widespread version, the trigger for the conflict was Denisova's refusal to sign a document that would activate the mechanism for the withdrawal of funds from the republican budget developed by Slavyanski Bank and criminal personalities during the issuance of domestic government bonds.
Even if the case was soon closed, the Republican Prosecutor's Office and the Tax Service acquired a relentless enemy in Denisova, who accused her of being involved in the collapse of the financial system of the autonomy.
According to Ukrainska Pravda, Denisova was included in Tymoshenko's team together with Gumatex owner, criminal entrepreneur Andrei Senchenko, who began promoting BYuT ideas in Crimea.
In the summer of 2007, she ranked 36th in the Focus magazine ranking of '50 most influential residents of Crimea', dedicated to the regional elites of the country. And a few months later, she was also recognized as a deputy with 87th place in the ranking of '100 most influential women in Ukraine' by Focus magazine. According to the magazine, her influence on the political line of BYuT is justified.
Family. The politician is married and has two daughters - Elena and Alexandra.
