Biography

Hutsol was born in Russia but moved to Ukraine with her parents in 1991.^[3]^{[a 2]} Hutsol is an economist^[4] and a former assistant to singer Tina Karol.^[5]

Hutsol founded FEMEN in 2008 after she became attuned to the sad stories of Ukrainian women duped by false promises from abroad:^[6] "I set up FEMEN because I realised that there was a lack of women activists in our society; Ukraine is male-oriented and women take a passive role."^[7] According to Hutsol the skills she acquired during her time with Tina Karol have helped FEMEN's "public relations".^[5] FEMEN's main choice of action is topless demonstrations.^[8] The group started protesting against sex tourism^[9]^[10] ^[why?] and broadened their agenda to women's rights and civil rights in Ukraine and around the world.^[11]

Hutsol wanted to seek representation for FEMEN in the Verkhovna Rada in January 2011;^[12] but FEMEN did not take part in the October 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election.^[13]^[14]

According to a border service official because "Hutsol is on the list of people barred from entering Russia"^[why?]^[15] she was detained by the Federal Security Service (FSB) of the Russian Federation on 16 November 2012 at Pulkovo Airport in Saint Petersburg (Russia).^[15]^[16] Hutsol was deported back to (her point of departure) Paris (France) on the earliest flight available.^[15]

Late August 2013 Shevchenko and fellow FEMEN-members claimed to have fled out of Ukraine ("Fearing for their lives and freedom").^[17]^[18]^[19] Hutsol request for asylum in Switzerland late 2013, but the authorities rejected it on 27 March 2014.^[20]
