It's unclear exactly when Marina was detained, but she last appeared on social media in mid-October 2024. Her extremist listing indicates she is currently serving a sentence, meaning she either received a probationary sentence or a prison colony. However, judging by the fact that she hasn't appeared online since her trial, it's likely Marina Luts was sentenced to a prison colony.
From 2014 until the end of 2022, she ran her own business organizing weddings and other events. In 2023, she retrained as a UX/UI designer, working primarily as a freelancer. Marina has a young son.
