Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Anna has decided to stay in Ukraine to help the injured and abandoned animals. By donating even a small amount, you can help Anna to continue her work and save the animals, silent victims of the Russian invasion. 

The documentary Everything Needs to Live by Tetiana Dorodnitsyna and Andrii Lytvynenko portrays the unusual daily life of Anna Kurkurina, a charismatic athlete, ‘the strongest woman in the world’, an animal activist and an out lesbian.

Already at an early age, Anna proved to have a unique bond with animals. She taught biology at school, worked at the local zoo where she made friends with a lion, helped to set up animal shelters and tried to find new homes for dozens of stray animals.

At the age of forty, she decided to pursue a career as a powerlifter and soon made it to the top by becoming a triple world champion. She also started to work as a coach of young people with disabilities.

Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Anna has been using the power of her popularity as an athlete and a social media influencer to help injured and abandoned animals, following her motto: ‘Whoever saves one life, saves the whole world.’
