Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Oksana Shachko" in English language version.
Despite her on-camera assurances, no one close to Shachko thought her life was copacetic. She suffered periods of dark depression and had trouble keeping up with the paperwork required to maintain her refugee status, which meant she was often running from small messes that became big. She had attempted suicide by hanging once already, a few years before, Trautmann says, in a little country house south of Paris that he used to own.
Ms. Shachko and several other activists founded Femen in 2008. After a few conventional protests, they decided to demonstrate topless, often with political slogans written on their bodies.
A deeply religious child, she came to identify as an atheist, a materialist, a communist, and, at last, a feminist.
