Anna loved animals from an early age - she taught biology at school and worked at the zoo. As a woman, she quickly realized that she had to be strong, also physically. Thus, at the age of 40, she began her career as a powerlifter and soon became a multiple world champion and the strongest woman in the world. Using the power of social media, she campaigned for animal rights, established shelters, and looked for new families for dozens of stray dogs and cats. When Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in 2022, Anna rushed to help injured and abandoned animals.
