In the next five seasons, Sokolova played in the national championships of four countries, but in 2001 she was excluded from participation in international tournaments due to the refusal to return to her homeland. After the difficult negotiations of Sokolova and her husband, Turkish volleyball player Aitach Kilich with the coach of Uralochka and the Russian team Nikolai Karpol Sokolova had the opportunity to continue her career and moved to one of the strongest clubs in Italy - Bergamo [1] , with whom she won scudetto for three seasons (2004), the Champions League (2005) and the EKV Cup (2004).
Since 2004, Sokolova again began to speak in the Russian team.

After Fenerbahce, she spent one season in Ejaciahibi in Istanbul, in May 2013 she signed a contract with Dynamo from Krasnodar .
During the years of her career, Sokolova showed herself to be a universal volleyball player. Being in line with the pre-player, she had to compete in the libero position at the 2008 Grand Prix qualifying tournament [5] .
