Galina Krasnyanskaya is 67 years old. She comes from Babruisk, probably from a military family - social networks indicate that she was born in the "military town of Kiselevichi". Once there was a large military garrison there and the school was created specifically for the children of the military. After school, she went to Minsk to study to be a chemist at the Belarusian Technological Institute (now BSTU). But after that, Galina worked in military units, if you believe her social networks. For example, from 1981 to 1986 in unit No. 48819, based in the pro-Soviet part of Germany - the GDR.
She probably moved to Sweden later. She must also have Swedish citizenship.
It is unknown when the woman returned to Belarus, but not earlier than spring 2023. The date of detention is also unknown. The article under which Galina is accused most often means a donation to Belarusian volunteers or to help Ukraine.

On June 21, 2025, Galina was released after a visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, Keith Kellogg, and was immediately taken to Lithuania.
