At the end of 2004, the first Ukrainian business daily, Ekonomicheskie Izvestiya, launched in Ukraine, where Kryukova began her career as an intern in the Public Policy department.

[5] According to Kryukova, the material was not published in Vesti Reporter because of the negative assessment of Berezenko and the Presidential Administration in it, as well as the sharp change in the editorial policy of the holding after the dismissal of Ihor Huzhva.

In late 2015, Kryukova, along with a number of former employees of Multimedia Invest Group[6][7] joined the Strana.ua online newspaper launched by Igor Guzhva.

From March to August 2016, Svitlana Kryukova, together with Sevgil Musayeva, chief editor of the website Ukrainska Pravda, conducted a series of special interviews “Black and White”.

Editor-in-chief of Strana.ua Igor Guzhva, former head of the UKROP party Hennadiy Korban, political technologist Dmytro Raimov, politician Maksym Buzhanskyi, journalist Aliona Yakhno and others commented on the book.

[10] In July 2021, on her page in the social network Facebook, Svitlana Kryukova sharply criticized the article of the Kremlin head Vladimir Putin On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians.

[11] The journalist in her post analyzed Putin's theses, which she called “terrestrial propaganda” with a lot of unreliable and false information in the assessment of Ukrainian history.

[11] Kryukova emphasized that “during the heyday of the princes of Kyiv, the territory of Muscovy was covered with swamps and wild forests.” In addition, she noted the danger of successful Ukraine to present-day Moscow.

Igor Guzhva was forced to respond, saying that he “disagreed with the statements of his subordinate, but he would not fire her”, noting that “she had always had this point of view on Putin”.

The auctions gained popularity due to her paintings Lyzoblyud, which depicts a man licking a plate and looks similar to Verkhovna Rada deputy Anton Herashchenko.
