She was also part of the gold medal-winning Russian group at the 2012 European Championships. Ilina was not selected in the Russian group that competed at the 2012 London Olympics because of the return of veteran Russian group member Anastasia Nazarenko, who was misdiagnosed with a serious foot injury after the 2011 World Championships. In 2013, Ilina sustained a knee injury at the start of the season but returned to competition with the Russian group at the 2013 Sofia World Cup.
She completed her career after the 2013 World Championships in Kiev.
