Biography
Inna Kardakova became a defendant in a criminal case against Jehovah's Witnesses in Magadan in the spring of 2019. Five years later, the court gave her a three-year suspended sentence. A year and a half earlier, her younger brother Sergey, who was also convicted of extremism only because of his faith, was sent to a penal colony for more than 6 years.
Inna was born in 1980 in Blagoveshchensk, Amur Region. As a child, she was fond of volleyball, knitting and reading fiction, especially loved detective stories. Now her hobbies have not changed much: she still loves sports, plays volleyball, badminton, table tennis, and is also engaged in needlework. Inna is an accountant-economist by profession, she graduated from a municipal construction college and worked as an accountant for 12 years. For the last few years he has been living in Magadan.
Inna's grandmother, who professes Orthodoxy, instilled in her faith in God from childhood. Later, she and a friend mailed out a Bible. "At the same time, my parents were on a spiritual quest. However, their experiences did not resonate positively in my heart until I met people who had already developed strong faith in God. Their behavior, their kindness, their attitude towards me, and the steadfastness of their faith despite life's difficulties prompted me to learn more from the Bible and to begin to study it seriously on my own—the very book that I myself had subscribed to in the mail much earlier. I wanted to get this knowledge myself, I was looking for it myself, and I got it myself," Inna said.
