Margarita, Tina Palynskaya's eldest daughter, was detained along with her mother at the end of May 2025. Both are in custody on criminal charges.
The details of the charges have not been officially disclosed. Based on circumstantial evidence, there is an assumption that the case may be connected with the KGB's decision to recognize the "Belarusian Analytical Workshop" of Professor Andrei Vardomatsky as an extremist organization. This organization conducted sociological surveys among Belarusian citizens. At the moment, there is no confirmation that Tina or her daughter actually participated in the BAM research. But even if such participation had taken place, it would not have violated the law: at the time of possible contact with the workshop, it had not yet been recognized as an extremist organization.
