Deriugina was in charge of the rhythmic gymnastics technical organizing committee as competition director from 1988 to 1992.
At her Kyiv school, which she ran with her mother until Albina Deriugina's death, she trains forty high level gymnasts.
Video was used to prove that she and five other judges, Natalia Stepanova (Belarus), Gabriele Stummer (Austria), Galina Marjina (Latvia), Ursula Sohlenkamp (Germany) and Natalia Lashtsinkaya (Russia), were guilty of discriminating against Olena Vitrychenko of Ukraine, in comparison to scores given to other gymnasts.
For the 2000 Sydney Olympics, those countries had to choose another judge who met the requirements of the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique.
They have a daughter together named Iryna Blokhina, who is a pop artist socialite and a choreographer for the Deriugins' School's students.
