Biography
Galina Inkina was born in October 1953 in the village of Iliinka, Kurgan Region. She has an elder and a younger brother. The parents are no longer alive. Galina's childhood was truly eventful and creative: she participated in school amateur performances, traveled during the holidays with performances in the villages, wrote poems and played in the puppet theater.
After school, the girl entered a cultural and educational school in the city of Perm but left her studies after the second year—she got married and moved to the Moscow region, to the village of Zaprudnya. There, Galina got a job as a laboratory assistant at the plant of electric vacuum devices, where she worked for 20 years. Then she was a social worker, and after retirement, she worked in a psychiatric hospital for another 13 years. In her free time, she likes to crochet and give mittens and socks to her friends, and she also takes care of homeless animals.
In the 1990s, Galina became seriously interested in the Bible. She was especially touched by God's promise to recreate wonderful conditions on earth and bring the dead loved ones back to life. She was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in 1997.
Galina has an adult son with whom she has a close relationship. "We have been calling each other in the evening at 21:00 for 23 years—my son calls to inquire about my health," she said and added: "Now it is prohibited."
In December 2024, criminal prosecution of the believer began—armed law enforcement officers broke into her home with a search. She recalls: "I was put in the corridor facing the wall and told to stand like that at gunpoint. I was shaking all over from stress—everything inside, arms, legs."
Galina has several severe chronic illnesses, she underwent 8 operations. According to the believer, the persecution greatly affected her: "The veins are swollen, the legs are blue, in the evening they swell, the tracking bracelet digs into the leg."
For some time, the elderly woman found herself without means of communication and lost the phone numbers of the attending doctors. Nevertheless, Galina does not despair and is grateful for the prayers of her friends, the strength of which she feels.
