Marianna has always actively taken part in social and political life - first in her city, and eventually on a nationwide scale. The damage caused by massive wildfires in 2010 in her Kostroma region motivated her to plant 300,000 trees over three years, and she is overseeing the planting of trees in 17 regions of Russia.
