05.02.2025 She died six months after her release from oncology, which she had been diagnosed with in prison. She served a full 3 years of imprisonment for her comments. Despite her serious illness, Anna was not released early.

According to the indictment, Anna posted offensive comments about Lukashenko A.G. and other government officials and law enforcement officials in several Telegram channels throughout 2021. On July 10, 2023, Anna will be tried again under the article for "insult".

In June 2023, Kondratenko was returned from the Gomel women's penal colony IK-4 to the Mogilev prison to stand trial for a second criminal case. This time, she was charged with a comment on the Telegram channel "Punishermen of Belarus" regarding Andrei Bagrayonok, a traffic police inspector of the Svetlogorsk District Department of Internal Affairs. The post about him appeared on September 27, 2021, and Kondratenko left a comment on September 28.

Anna's second sentence was 1 year of imprisonment and a fine of 50 basic units.

By absorbing a less severe punishment with a more severe one, Kondratenko was left with the same term of 3 years of imprisonment in a general regime colony. In both criminal cases, the woman now owes the state more than 5 thousand Belarusian rubles.

The woman died six months after her release from cancer, which she had been diagnosed with in the colony in Gomel. According to former political prisoners , Anna did not receive any parcels or packages. "Her mother is elderly, retired, it was hard for her, so we thought about how to help her ourselves." Despite her serious illness, Kondratenko was not released early. Moreover, the woman was taken from the colony to a pretrial detention center again and tried again under Article 369 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus.
