Olga is the former editor-in-chief of the political and economic block TUT.BY, graduated from BSU, BGEU and Oxford, and hosted the program “Economics on the Fingers” with Sergei Chaly.
On May 18, 2021, she was detained in a criminal case on tax evasion by TUT.BY. She was later charged with "inciting social hatred" and "calls for sanctions." In March 2022, she was released from pretrial detention on bail and recognizance, but the charges were not dropped. In the fall of that year, the KGB added her to the list of "those involved in terrorism."
Olga did not appear at the TUT.BY trial, which began in January 2023 behind closed doors — by that time, she had already left the country. In April of the same year, the Minsk City Court summoned the head of the Republican Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP) Alexander Shvets in connection with his surety for Olga — he was fined 18.5 thousand Belarusian rubles.
In February 2025, court hearings began on the criminal case within the framework of special proceedings under four articles - the outcome is unknown.
