Karina loves traveling, photography, and handicrafts; five years ago, she created educational flashcards for children. Since 2017, she has worked at Peleng, and in recent years, she has been a 5th-grade optical components inspector in the quality control bureau, where she tested the quality of optical products.
The exact date of his arrest is unknown; his last social media activity was recorded around July 2024, when mass testing of Peleng employees was conducted as part of the Belpol investigation: they were subjected to polygraph tests, some were fired, and there was no information about criminal cases being opened at that time.
