I mean, this is now a cultural thing. People use her photos as an avatar on forums, social networks, youtube, you can see it everywhere every once in a while. There are a lot of memes with her.
She with other girls was filmed in the one-man studio in Novosibirsk (1st Studio), the arrest of who had gained a lot of coverage in media. After some time, almost all of the porn videos and photos got uploaded to the internet, presumably by the police, and were shared among users enormous number of times via p2p (Direct Connect networks were very popular in Russia at that time, every major ISP had their own Hub, and when you connect to the ISP, it was a common thing for the ISP staff to install DC++ client to your PC along with network configuration).
Now Masha tries to use her past popularity to earn some money and to get some attention. She participated in a very popular Пусть Говорят (Let Them Talk) TV talk show, participated in the interviews for some magazines, sold signatures (signature - a photo of herself with a piece of paper with arbitrary text specified by the customer, made for a small fee).
