Oksana Volvacheva was born in Vinnytsia, Ukraine, but has lived in Belarus for over 30 years.
Since the beginning of 2019, the woman has been registered as an individual entrepreneur, and her main activity was the retail sale of sausages and ham in specialized stores in Minsk. Her business is currently in the process of being liquidated.
Oksana is an active civic activist and has frequently participated in political Telegram chats, especially after the outbreak of full-scale war in Ukraine in 2022. Publicly available data indicates that security forces persecuted her specifically for her online comments. The Minsk resident was first detained in January 2024 for these comments.
