Since 1991, he has worked as a researcher at the Narva Museum for over 30 years, devoting himself to exploring and preserving the traditions of Old Believers - Peipsiveere residents. His name is known not only in Estonia but also outside of its deep contribution to the development of folkloristics and the popularization of an integral cultural heritage.
Marina is a unique folklore ensemble “Suprjadki” ( http://www.suprjadki.eu ) driver. Under his leadership, not only do not sing and revive rituals, but the collective members also become the bearers of lively memory who provide knowledge of traditional culture to the next generations. Thanks to these initiatives, rare customs and folk songs are preserved in Narva, and participants have the opportunity to be active cultural life designers.
Marina's image also deals with research and education, carrying thematic programs for children and adults related to folk culture. He has taught at the Narva College of the University of Tartu, Narva Vocational Training Center and has been a guest lecturer at the University of Tartu Viljandi Culture Academy and Tallinn University.
