The above mentioned publishing house noted that the literary activity of Konegen also had the "character of a secular gesture". Belyaeva-Konegen, as a rule, worked in co-authorship with Iosif Diskkin, Dmitry Prigov or Igor Yarkevich, and their written articles were openly provocative.

Policy.
But despite this, in September 2007 Congen goes into politics. The Russian environmental party "Greens", on September 16, 2007, approved the federal list of candidates for elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation, in which Konegen was in second place. And on the same day Konegen was awarded the party membership card "Greens". The organization's leader Anatoly Pamfilov, when commenting on this event, noted that the party is forming a "right-wing liberal wing". And Kogenen answering the question why she went into politics? - I answered that she was not going to politics, but to the environmental party. In her opinion, the "Green" is the only non-partisan party in the country. She actively spoke at a press conference on the results of the congress, for the equality of men and women, and also spoke in defense of minorities - national, religious and sexual. But on October 28, 2007, when the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation completed registration of the federal list of candidates from political parties, and it became known that the Greens would not be included in the ballot papers. She was refused registration, since the Central Election Committee recognized more than 5% of voters' signatures that the party submitted in support of its candidate lists - invalid.
Epatage.
About Konegen in the press most often wrote about a shocking and scandalous TV presenter. Biography Svetlana has always been full of gossip and rumors. It was called Miss Missableness, Miss Unisex, Miss Scandal, Miss Intellectual Disgrace, but she did not agree with either of these definitions. Such an outrageous and scandalous image, according to Konegen, was born by itself. This was the circumstances, its nature, certain requirements of the time, and more specifically the requirements of the project that hung on it.
Hobbies and personal life.
The media wrote that Konegen was engaged in horse riding and ballroom dancing, it was her hobby. And in her spare time she prefers, in her words, to catch flies, to go to all the worst to wander about in the most senseless parties, flogs nonsense.
Konegen and her husband have no children. Her husband is a German mathematician who lives in Germany. From the words of Konegen, her family life is also extravagant, like herself: "I simply do not have it, anyway, as it is accepted by any average person."
