During her presentation, she said that there is no violence against sexual minorities in Russia. Her lecture was interrupted by an activist from the Quarteera organization, who accused her of trying to make homophobia socially acceptable across Europe, as in Russia.

In the course of the Russian annexation of Crimea , she was placed on the sanctions list of the EU, the United States and Canada in March 2014 as one of several members of the Russian Duma . Misulina criticized the US simply wanting to stop the "rebirth of Russia".

In mid-2016, she made a very controversial push to “decriminalize” domestic violence . In this she described the current legislation as "absurd" and demanded that the law be changed so that they no longer face jail sentences.

At the beginning of 2017, the draft was approved by the House of Representatives in a second reading.
