Biography
Malinovsky was born in Luhansk in the Soviet Union (today in Ukraine) to Vladamir and Sophia. She studied law at the Luhansk branch of the East Ukrainian Volodymyr Dahl National University, gaining a BA.
Malinovsky immigrated to Israel from Ukraine in 1998. She was elected to Holon City Council on the Yisrael Beiteinu list in 2003, and was placed eighteenth on the party's list for the 2009 Knesset elections. However, the party won only 15 seats. She was 37th on the joint Likud Yisrael Beiteinu list for the 2013 Knesset elections, but again failed to win a seat.
Prior to the 2015 Knesset elections, she was placed ninth on the party's list. Although Yisrael Beiteinu won only six seats, the resignation of several MKs saw her enter the Knesset on 1 June 2016 as a replacement for Avigdor Lieberman, after he had resigned from the Knesset under the Norwegian Law following his appointment as Minister of Defense.
