Marishka is a diminutive and Natasha used it to seem affectionate - she was probably hoping that the use of this form would change Marina's mind as to arresting her, which, as we both know, backfired.

Yet I don't think it is the most important factor that makes me think she doesn't care for her daughter. Natasha was suspicious ever since we met her and in my opinion, if she cared about what her own daughter thinks of her, she would never get involved in the first place. Furthermore, what caught my attention was the fact that Marina pointed out that she almost got killed in the hit ordered by the government official and Natasha downplayed and basically said it was Marina's own fault that she was shot. Finally, all Natasha wanted was power and she preferred betray the whole world for an empty promise rather than fixing her relationship with her child, so that's why I think Natasha doesn't care about Marina, not because of the form of the name she used.
