She graduated from the Mathematics and Mechanics department of the Leningrad State University in 1956, where one of her classmates was Anatoly Vershik. She worked at the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute Of Technical Physics in the mathematical section.
Zhilina developed algorithms and computer programs for solving problems in physics, mechanics and the non-stationary thermal conductivity of complex nuclear weapons. Under her leadership, computer programs were developed to solve problems in the field of optimal trajectories of nuclear weapons, including their ballistics.
She was a laureate of the USSR State Prize, the Medal "For Labour Valour" and the Order of the Red Banner of Labour.
Zhilina died in Snezhinsk in 2003, and is interred in the town cemetery.
