Anastasia Trubchik-Divakova

Anastasia Trubchik-Divakova is a 24-year-old librarian from the town of Horok, Belarus. She graduated from the Belarusian State University of Culture and Arts in 2018, specializing in information and document communications. After her studies, she worked at the library of the Belarusian National Technical University. Recently, she married and adopted a double surname, combining her maiden name with her husband's. In 2025, Anastasia was convicted under the 'people's' article 342 of the Criminal Code, likely related to her participation in protests against the Belarusian government. Following her sentencing, she was reportedly placed under 'home chemistry' and added to the Ministry of Internal Affairs' list of 'extremists.' Her case reflects the ongoing political repression in Belarus, which has intensified since the controversial 2020 elections.
