In February 2022, Margarita Moiseyenko, a civilian resident of the city of Zeya, was accused of participating in extremist activities. Seven months earlier, her husband Konstantin had been convicted under the same criminal article. Their belief in Jehovah God was the reason for the criminal prosecution.
Margarita was born in Krasnoyarsk in December 1978. She has an elder sister. Her father worked as a welder in an aluminum factory. Mother — a teacher and artist — from childhood instilled in Margarita a love of art and reading. The girl learned to read early, loved to draw, was fond of embroidery and making crafts.

After working for three years in the atelier, Margarita decided to open her own business for individual tailoring. This is what she is still doing.
The love of reading prompted Margarita to pick up the Bible at a young age. She recalls: “Many things were not clear, I treated this book as ancient myths. But later, after the tragic death of a relative, I thought about the meaning of life and at the age of 18 I decided to explore this book more deeply. To her surprise, Margarita found that the Bible was scientifically and historically accurate. Fulfilled Bible prophecies strengthened trust in God and the Bible, and in 2001 Margarita embarked on the Christian path.
She met her future husband Konstantin while still at school. He is was educated as a systems engineer. They got married in 1998. When Konstantin's blind grandmother needed help, the couple moved in with her in the village of Minderla, Krasnoyarsk Territory, where they took care of the elderly woman for the last six years of her life. Since 2016, the Moiseyenkos have been living in the city of Zeya.
