Maria entered the French language department of the Minsk State Linguistic University and received her diploma in 2014.
The young woman has always had a strong civic stance . Even during the protests against integration with Russia in 2019, she said, "It's very easy to lose independence, but it will be impossible to win it back. It's bad that only a few people came out, but it's the few who save the world, not the masses."
In July 2020, Maria attended Svetlana Tikhanovskaya's election rally in Zhlobin with a poster to protest "elections without choice."
She said she did not support any of the candidates, but demanded that opposition politicians clearly condemn the conflict in Ukraine and the occupation of Crimea.
Outside of her studies and work, Maria has always been passionate about nature: she loves birds and, whenever possible, is involved in rescuing animals.
