After evacuating from occupied Ukraine, she received a teaching degree, dreaming of becoming an artist, but dedicated her life to school, teaching Russian language and literature. Her teaching career began in the Novgorod region and then continued in Novopolotsk, where she moved with her family in 1964.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by M.S.Prudnikova&#8217;s \u00abElusive\u00bb Actions, about war heroes, Evgenia Anatolyevna became inspired by the idea of searching for and preserving their memory. This led to the creation of the first \u00abRed Pathfinders\u00bb detachment at School No.2 and the establishment of a military glory museum (1970) dedicated to the \u00abElusive\u00bb partisan brigade. Under her leadership, students conducted extensive searches, studying archives, identifying fallen soldiers and pilots, and locating aircraft crash sites.<\/p>\n<p>The work of the search detachment under <strong>E.A.Trapeznikova&#8217;s<\/strong> leadership extended far beyond the school walls. Together with her students, she traveled hundreds of kilometers, participated in \u00abMemory Watches\u00bb, maintained military graves, and worked in archives. Thanks to her initiative and tireless work, monuments were erected in Novopolotsk and the Polotsk region, and the remains of over a thousand defenders of the Fatherland were reburied.<\/p>\n<p>Based on <a href=\"https:\/\/museum.sch2.edunp.by\/%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%88-%D0%BC%D1%83%D0%B7%D0%B5%D0%B9\/%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C-%D0%BC%D1%83%D0%B7%D0%B5%D1%8F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>materials<\/strong><\/a> from the website of the People&#8217;s Museum of Military Glory of the State Educational Institution <strong>\u00abSecondary School No.2 named after E.A.Trapeznikova of Novopolotsk\u00bb.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\"  width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"5\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"gen_table\">\n<tr align='center'>\n<td align='center'><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/archives.gov.by\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1.-himik-\u211692-05.08.1969-s.4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" id=\"media-1086443\" class=\"wp-image-1086443 alignnone size-full\" width=\"70%\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align='center'>1.
