A resident of Chita and a journalist. She held anti-Ukrainian views, supported the unrecognised republics of Donbas, and condemned opponents of the war following the full-scale invasion. However, she later criticised the actions of the authorities of the Trans-Baikal region for their public support of the war. In spring of 2023, she was detained allegedly on orientation, after which she discovered a screen capturing software installed on her phone. On 29 November 2023, Novak was detained by unknown persons, who pulled out a clump of her hair during the arrest. That same day, her home was searched and her equipment was confiscated. She was released later the same day.
