The previously well-respected politician has faced heavy criticism after the short exercise video she filmed in her workplace went viral online,Daily Mail reports.
The 24-year-old later deleted the video and tried to explain herself, claiming she did not know the footage would go public.
'I do not know much about technology, so I did not think that this video would be available to the general public,' she said in an interview with Life.ru.
'Now I do not know what to do, I can be fired
Her fears were realised when she was kicked out of the party, with officials saying she had 'violated all common moral standards'.
The ex-politician later posted another video aplogising to Vladimir Putin and her former party for the embarrassment she caused.
'Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, dear Russians, I am very sorry if I insulted you with my video, I did not mean to,' she said.
