Personal life

Marina loves driving herself, describing it as a passion. She's also very fond of animals and loves to draw oil paintings. She once said: "I love painting in oil.

Each and everyone finds something different in them – and that is great."
Marina is fluent in Russian, English, and Spanish. She is also a fan of football and once stated that she was very happy because Russia played in the semi-finals of UEFA Euro 2008.
