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.{{Cite web |title=Decree of The President of Ukraine No. 336/2016 |url=https://www.president.gov.ua/documents/3362016-20405?_x_tr_sl=uk&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=pl&_x_tr_pto=wapp |access-date=2023-03-25 |website=president.gov.ua |page=185}}
