Controversies[edit]

In 2006, Lakhova organized a photo shoot for women deputies in honor of the 100th anniversary of the State Duma. Later, it was revealed that Lakhova sold the photos to a furniture factory, which used them to publish a booklet advertising its sofas. Eleven deputies, including Alexandra Burataeva [ru], Nina Ostanina, and Lyubov Sliska sued the factory for violation of personal non-property rights and infliction of moral damage. Lakhova did not join the suit.[6]

Lakhova was also criticized by the Orthodox media for her support of abortions.[7][8] Some media occasionally accused her of lobbying laws that would force women to be sterilized.[9][10]

In November 2018, the media widely criticised Lakhova's comment on the increase of the consumer price index. In her comment, Lakhova said that eating buckwheat all day could be beneficial for health and that proposing an increase of the consumer basket was populism.[11][12][13]

In 2018, Lakhova declared an income of 5,839 million rubles.[15]
