Viktoryia Mikalayeuna Anokhava-Zhurauliova

Viktoryia and her husband are raising 13 children, nine of them adopted. She was involved in public activity and pressed the local authorities to solve the town's problems. After the 2020 election, Viktoryia moved her children to individual schooling out of distrust of teachers and created the educational project "Free School".

In February 2021, someone filed a denunciation against the family, mistaking white New Year wreaths with red ribbons for "white-red-white symbols". In August of the same year, Viktoryia's home was searched in a criminal case of slandering Lukashenko. The case was based on her comment "Lukashenko killed another Belarusian", left in August 2020 in the "Pruzhany" Telegram chat under a post about the death of Hienadz Shutau.

In March 2022, Viktoryia was found guilty in a criminal case of slandering Lukashenko and sentenced to restricted freedom without referral to an open-type correctional facility.

In November 2022, Viktoryia was arrested for 10 days for violating the terms of her sentence: she had failed to report to the district police department.
