Before her arrest, Maryna worked as a designer for the Korona retail chain, creating banners and other printed materials.
On February 2, 2022, she was detained in a criminal case on insulting Lukashenko. She was first sentenced to administrative arrest, but when it ended she was not released and was transferred to a pre-trial detention center instead. Later she was also charged with taking part in a protest march held in Minsk in 2020.
In September 2022, Maryna was found guilty in a criminal case initiated under the articles on insulting Lukashenko and on active participation in actions grossly violating public order, for taking part in burning an effigy depicting Lukashenko and in that march. The Minsktrans company filed a claim of 15,000 Belarusian rubles against those convicted in this case, a total amount for all of them.
Released in April 2024, after fully serving the sentence imposed by the court.
