Biography
In March 2022, Yuriy Yakovlev, who is known as a kind and sympathetic person, was accused of extremism. Friends and relatives of the believer are discouraged and sure that extremism and Yuriy's lifestyle are incompatible concepts.
Yuriy was born in June 1966 in the city of Sarapul (Udmurtia). He has an elder brother and a younger sister. Their mother was a road worker, and she was often sent on long business trips, so the family had a chance to live in different cities of the USSR. For several years they settled in Kyrgyzstan, Yuriy remembers this time with warmth. During his school years, he liked to go camping with his classmates. The man has not lost this hobby over the years and travels with friends across the Siberian expanses with pleasure.
After the army, Yuriy went to visit friends in Vladivostok and decided to stay there. To support himself, he began to go to sea. He was fascinated by the beauty and power of the sea. After 15 years, Yuriy moved to Siberia, to the small town of Sosnovoborsk. There he mastered a new specialty and began working as a minced meat compiler. Yuriy likes to cook for himself, his family and friends. He also loves animals: he has two cats.
Yuriy has been familiar with biblical truths since childhood. His mother tried to instill in all her children the love of God. However, at that time the young man had other interests. Having matured, he, like many others, began to think about the meaning of life. In 2009, already living in Sosnovoborsk, Yuri began to seriously study the Bible and soon decided to devote his life to serving God.
Recently, Yuriy's mother, who is already over 80, has serious health problems. To take care of her, he moved her to his place. After the search and arrest of her son, the condition of the elderly woman deteriorated sharply.
