Resident of Tulun (Irkutsk region). A security company employee, she has a four-year-old son. She joined the AntiTorture project, which reports on violations of prisoners' rights and doxes convicts who cooperate with prison guards, and started correcting spelling mistakes in prisoners' complaints. On 30 October 2024, she was detained after a search, taken to Irkutsk, and placed in custody on charges of involvement in an extremist community in connection with her work in the project.
On 5 June 2025, a case on incitement to disorganise the colony's activities and battery was opened against her. According to the investigation, the posts published by Garina in the social networks of the project incited prisoners to three attacks on informants. The posts gave personal details of the informants and asked to report cases of violence on their part, but did not call for attacks on them. This case was merged with the main case on the project's activities.
