In 2004 she received a PhD in Pedagogical Sciences.
Slabunova became a deputy of the Petrozavodsk City Council in 2001. Then she tried to become its chairman, but did not get the required number of votes. A few years later, in 2003, she joined Yabloko.

She participated in the mayoral elections of Petrozavodsk in 2013, but a couple of weeks before the vote, her candidacy was withdrawn by a court decision. A complaint about the incorrect registration of a candidate from Yabloko was then filed by the leader of the Karelian branch of the Patriots of Russia party, Yuri Shabanov. Before this, in 2002, Slabunova also tried through the court to remove Shabanov from the elections to the Karelian parliament, but she failed.
When Slabunova was removed from the lists, she asked her voters to vote for self-nominated candidate Galina Shirshina. Shirshina won and Slabunova joined her team. She headed the expert council under the mayor.
A year after Shirshina’s work, the city council gave her bad results for her work, and in early December the deputies decided to dismiss the mayor. All this time, Slabunova supported the mayor and said in an interview that she saw political pressure in the assessment of Shirshina’s work.
Together with Shirshina, Slabunova opposed the abolition of direct elections of the mayor and the introduction of an appointed position of city manager. At the meetings, she spoke about the ineffectiveness of such work, criticized corruption in the institutions of city managers and emphasized that the abolition of direct elections of the city head is a violation of constitutional human rights and freedoms. However, in the summer of 2015, a law abolishing direct mayoral elections was adopted.

The candidacy was nominated by Sergei Mitrokhin.

She was supported by party co-founder Grigory Yavlinsky, emphasizing her joint work with Galina Shirshina.
“Slabunova and Shirshina are people who are in a state of real, acute political struggle in a region far from Moscow. The fight against arbitrariness,” Yavlinsky said.
