Starting her career at the age of 13 in the BBC mini-series "Crime and Punishment," directed by Julian Jarrold, Rina transitioned into theatre, where she started to learn the profession. Her versatility as both a comedic and dramatic actress became evident early on, and she has maintained a consistent presence in film and television ever since.

Shortly it followed the leading role of 'Alisa' in award-winning popular TV series and box office film franchise "Policemen" by Ilya Kulikov, which made her well known throughout Russia and helped her to develop a strong career during the following years.
