Tatyana Shchemtseva

The Honorable Tatyana Moiseyevna Shchemtseva (Russian: Татьяна Моисеевна Щемцева) is a Russian politician and pro-democracy activist born within the confines of an oppressive government.

Biography
Born in the Russian city of Vladimir, she emphasized a strong orthodox stance towards her own country, considering that she had a hard time contemplating Soviet-era repression against independence and opposition parties herself, and thus wanted to enroll into politics when she was a little older, considering her stance as an opposition politician. She had to flee Russia for France when she was just a teenager because of the fear that she would be imprisoned.

She attended a university within Paris, and excelled in her education, but alongside that, became a well-known figure within her political opinions, eventually engaging in modern-style democracy and was critical of the Communist regime, which was then followed by her opposition of Putin's rule over her home country, and thus acquired French citizenship while still being able to speak fluent Russian as a result.

On the contrary, there were known attempts on her life, since as bad as it may have seen, there was a poisoning against her when she was 35, but recovered. Two people were arrested after that attack, but left her with permanent scars on her mental health, but wanted to keep going as a politician, even engaging in further careers on the world stage, at one point, becoming a strong double-agent, to transfer information from FSB to the West, but otherwise maintained her spot in active roles in political systems.

It's been known that she is rather humble for her beginnings, partly due to her tough upbringing, and the risk that she could've been murdered under the orders of the government, so she is still breaking the law in Russia just to prove a point against Putin and supported Navalny as a whole.

She was knighted on July 6th, 2022, and earned the title of "The Honorable", crediting her change and proving her point in the process.
