Anastasia Trubnikova is a participant of the regional contest "Woman of Donetsk Region" in 2025, nomination "Heart in Armor"
Anastasia was born and raised in Kramatorsk, Donetsk Oblast. In 2017, she graduated from Kramatorsk secondary school No. 3. Since childhood, she dreamed of serving in the police, so she entered Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs, which she successfully completed in 2020, and in 2023 she entered the master's program at the same university. At the end of 2022, she began her education as a qualified police officer at the Mariupol Center for Primary Professional Training "Police Academy" of Donetsk State University of Internal Affairs.
At the time of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, she was studying in Mariupol. In the first days of the invasion, Anastasia and her colleagues were temporarily stationed in a temporary detention center (temporary detention facility). It was at that moment that she first felt what it was like to work in a state of emergency. Having no experience, she began to perform her first duties in the police and at the same time help people who found themselves in the most difficult life circumstances.
Together with the crews working in Mariupol, Anastasia helped the population in danger, participated in the delivery of food, clothing and footwear to families with children and adults who were left without the basics - no shelter, no water, no food, no means of subsistence. Many of them had lost everything: their homes were destroyed or burned down, their belongings were destroyed, and they had no contact with their families. It was a difficult time, but it was there that she realized how important it is to be of service to people in times of fear and uncertainty.
For her dedicated service, Anastasia was awarded a decoration from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine and received a letter of appreciation from the military administration of Donetsk Oblast. But for her, the most important reward is the lives she saved, the happy hugs, and the words "thank you" spoken from the depths of her heart.
