Anastasiya worked as an international transport manager. On 31 March 2022, she was detained and given 15 days of administrative arrest, and then charged with taking part in the post-election protests held in Minsk in 2020: allegedly, together with other protesters, she blocked streets. The charge was based on photos on her phone showing her walking along the roadway with drummers in the background. Anastasiya did not deny taking part in the protest but disagreed that she had shouted slogans and disobeyed the police.

In July 2022, Anastasiya was found guilty in a criminal case initiated under the article "Organization and preparation of actions grossly violating public order, or active participation in them" and sentenced to restricted freedom without referral to an open-type correctional facility. She was released in the courtroom.
