In 2021, she publicly announced that she was leaving journalism. She explained her departure by saying that she had already had enough of being persecuted for working without accreditation. According to police reports, the courts punished the journalist with administrative fines more than forty times, including for covering post-election protests. Only one day was not assigned, since Shchiryakova was raising a minor son alone.

This year, in September, after the arrest of her former colleague in the journalistic field, Yevgeny Merkis, Shchiryakova raised the issue of the journalist’s detention in a pre-trial detention facility in her posts on social networks, and posted messages on her social network pages about solidarity actions with Yevgeny that were being held abroad.
