Biography
Yevgeniy Reshetnikov has been living in the town of Gryazi for over 20 years and has been a convinced Christian for most of his life. However, in November 2020, he ended up in jail only for his faith in Jehovah God. This law-abiding man is accused of extremist activities.
Yevgeniy was born in 1974 in the south of Kazakhstan, in Shymkent, the third most populous city in the republic. He was the only child in the family. Since childhood, the boy was fond of photography and radio engineering. After school he graduated from electrician courses and worked in this specialty.
At 22, Yevgeniy moved to Lipetsk, and a year later - to Gryazi, a town on the Matyr River, 20 kilometers from the administrative center. In 1998, the young man met Marina, a girl who shared his religious views, and a few years later they got married.
From a young age, Yevgeniy was outraged by injustice. He even wanted to write a book about it and turned to a teacher for advice, from whom he learned that a book on justice had already been written - this is the Bible. The young man did not believe that God is a person, but the theory of evolution also seemed unconvincing to him. He decided to research the Holy Scriptures, and in 1993 he consciously became a Christian. Biblical knowledge helps Yevgeniy to remain confident that the Creator will surely restore justice soon.
