She worked as an inspector at the Sfera plant, which is part of the BelOMO holding.
Margarita was a long-time member of the Liberal Democratic Party of Belarus. She was on Sergei Gaidukevich's initiative group during the 2010 presidential election, and in 2014, she ran for the party's seat on the Minsk City Council—and, naturally, lost. She hasn't appeared in public since.
She was allegedly detained for her comments. Judging by photos on social media, the woman has a child.
She is expected to be released in November 2025.
