Since 1991, after the return of her family from Uzbekistan to Crimea, she lived in Simferopol, graduated from the Faculty of Oriental Languages of the Tavri University. She was an active participant in the Orange Revolution and the Revolution of Dignity.
In 2014, after the annexation of Crimea, Tasheva together with like-minded people created the public organization "Crimea SOS", its mission is to help internally displaced persons from Crimea and Donbas and monitor human rights violations in the occupied territories.
In April 2022, President Volodymyr Zelensky appointed Tasheva as the permanent representative of the President of Ukraine in Crimea.
On February 20, 2019, Tasheva was awarded the Order of Princess Olha III degree "For civic courage, selfless defense of the constitutional principles of democracy, human rights and freedoms, demonstrated during the Revolution of Dignity, fruitful public and volunteer activity".
