In between was the victory at the European Junior Championships in Leipzig in 1982 in the light heavyweight division, ahead of the Bulgarian Ilja Wassiliew and the Finn Toni Hannula .

Anatol Fedarenka also found the connection to the world elite in the senior sector relatively quickly, although he had a number of tough competitors in the Soviet Union. Let me just mention Olympic champion Igor Kanygin and Nikolai Inkow . Despite these competitors, he was used in the heavyweight division at the 1985 European Championships in Leipzig . He justified this trust by winning the title ahead of Kejo Manni from Finland and Dušan Masár from Czechoslovakia . At the world championship of the same year in Kolbotn / Norway , he won the bronze medal behind Andrej Dimitrov from Bulgaria and Tamás Gáspár from Hungary .

In 1986 at the European Championships in Athens he felt how strong the competition was, especially in the weight class up to 100 kg body weight, i.e. his weight class. He finished there only 5th place, which he fought for by defeating Roman Bierła from Poland . At the 1986 World Championships in Budapest he reached 3rd place behind Tamás Gáspár and Vasile Andrei from Romania and won another medal.

In 1987 Anatol Fedarenka could not prevail in the Soviet Union against Igor Kanygin and Guram Guduschauri , a young Georgian, and did not start at the international championships. In 1988 he was used again at the European Championships in Kolbotn. He was in excellent shape there and won the European Championship title ahead of Josef Tertelj from Yugoslavia and Gerhard Himmel from Aschaffenburg . Despite this victory, the Soviet coaches resorted to Guram Guduschauri at the Olympic Games this year in Seoul , but he did not win a medal in Seoul. The winner there Andrzej Wroński from Poland before Gerhard sky.

In 1989 Anatoli Fedorenko took part in the World Championships in Martigny / Switzerland . He took 3rd place in the heavyweight division. He had to accept a disqualification defeat in the semifinals against Gerhard Himmel, who later also became world champion, after 4:39 minutes of fighting time.

With a victory over Maik Bullmann from Frankfurt (Oder) , who had moved from light heavyweight to heavyweight , Anatoli Fedorenko won the European title for the third time in Poznan in 1990 . On the way to this triumph he defeated u. a. also Olympic champion Andrzej Wroński.

After this championship, Anatol Fedarenka initially did not play any more international championships. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, he had extremely strong competitors in Belarus, his home country, in Sjarhej Dzjamjaschkewitsch and Sergei Lishtvan , so that he ended his international wrestling career in those years.

In 1996, however, he returned to the international wrestling scene, already 33 years old. Since he did not expect any chances in Belarus, he started for Kazakhstan and was Asian heavyweight champion at the Asian Games in Xiaoshan / People's Republic of China in front of the Chinese Ba Yanchuan . In 1997 he returned to Hrodna, became a member of the "Trade Union Sport Club" and started again for Belarus. This was made easier for him because Sergei Demjaschkewitsch had meanwhile ended his career.

1997 turned out to be a very successful year in Anatol Fedarenka's career. He was in Kouvola / Finland in the light heavyweight division, which now went up to 97 kg body weight after a change in the weight classification by the world wrestling federation FILA, right back to Vice European Champion behind Hakkı Başar from Turkey . He was also able to convince at the 1997 World Cup in Breslau . He fought his way there u. a. with a victory over Maik Bullmann, who was extremely close for him with a tie of 2: 2 due to a referee decision, until the final against Gogi Koguashvili from Russia , against whom he was clearly defeated.

In the years that followed, up to 2000, things didn't go so well for Anatoly Fedorenko. He was no longer on top positions and he also did not qualify for the 2000 Olympic Games. Since ending his active career, he has worked as a trainer in Sweden .
