She was born on 1 August 1985, in Samarkand, Uzbek SSR, USSR,[1] to a deported Crimean Tatar family. In 1991, she returned to Crimea with her family, like most of the other Crimean Tatars, and settled in Simferopol. She graduated at the Faculty of Oriental Languages at the Tavrida National V.I. Vernadsky University.[2]
She participated in the Orange Revolution and organized rallies in Crimea. She later headed the Foundation for Regional Initiatives NGO branch in Crimea.[2]
In 2006, she became an assistant to the people's deputy Lesya Orobets. She worked as an analyst for Viktor Yuschenko's Our Ukraine party. In 2010, she received a management position at the Nash Format publishing house. She later became a PR manager of the TIK band.[2]
In December 2013, Tasheva took part in the Revolution of Dignity and demonstrations against Viktor Yanukovych's regime. In the winter of 2014, Tasheva, along with several other activists, created a Facebook page CrimeaSOS, which covered events leading up to the Russian annexation of Crimea. In early March, activists opened a hotline for asylum seekers in peaceful areas of the country. Soon CrimeaSOS grew into a wide volunteer network, which began to provide assistance to residents of the ATO Zone. Eventually, CrimeaSOS became a full-fledged public organization.[2][3]
Following the Russian annexation of Crimea, Tasheva gathered facts about the disappearance, abuse and violation of Crimean Tatars.[2]
In the 2019 parliamentary election, Tasheva ran for People's Deputy of Ukraine, as a candidate of Holos.[2]
On 25 October 2019, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appointed Tasheva as a deputy representative of the Crimea.[4] On 25 April 2022 Tasheva was promoted to the new Permanent Representative of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, replacing Anton Korynevych.[5]
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, she remained active in tracking the fate of Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars remaining on the Crimean peninsula.[6][7][8]
