Biography
On July 16 and 17, 2019, mass searches and detentions of civilians on the basis of religion took place in the Nizhny Novgorod region. At least 11 people were detained. Two believers were thrown into jail for talking about religious topics, which law enforcement agencies interpret as extremism. What do we know about one of them, Alexander Vavilov?
Alexander was born in 1967 in the city of Kropotkin (Krasnodar Territory). When he was two years old, his family moved to live in Kamchatka. His father worked as a carpenter. Alexander grew up as a versatile child: he painted portraits, was actively involved in sports - running, swimming, skiing. He also liked hairdressing.
After serving in the army, he entered the Khabarovsk State Institute of Physical Culture in the direction of "boxing". In the last year, I realized that I did not want to connect my life with such a dangerous sport, and began to attend hairdressing courses. Then he worked in this profession. Customers appreciated him very much for his responsible attitude towards them and practical advice.
In 1994, Alexander married Elena and adopted her two children. Even before the wedding, the couple began to be interested in Christian teachings and jointly search the Bible for answers to questions. For many years, they have been putting into practice what they have learned from this book. They are convinced that this has made their family stronger and more united.
In 2015, the family moved to Pavlovo. Alexander and Elena like to spend their free time together, go to the forest, pick mushrooms and berries. They have many friends in different cities.
Although the mother and relatives do not share Alexander's religious choice, they have peace and harmony in their relationship. All relatives are perplexed because of the unfair persecution of an honest person.
