Biography

Sergey Barsukov was born in Altai, in Barnaul. His mother raised him alone from birth. She worked in the field of finishing work - she was a team foreman at a construction site, and now she is retired.

As a child, Sergey loved to ride a bicycle, played football with the city team, and spent the summer in a pioneer camp. He especially loved observing insects, and this hobby has remained to this day.

After school, the young man graduated from a technical school and received the specialty of a radio equipment controller, after which he served in the army. His working life was diverse: an auxiliary worker at a construction site, a shoemaker, a janitor in a kindergarten, a taxi driver. Recently, Sergey has been working as a locksmith in a sports complex.

The man had a chance to live, in addition to Altai, and in other parts of the country - in the Novosibirsk region and the Krasnodar Territory. Later, he moved closer to his mother to take care of her.

In 1996, Sergey met Nina, and in 1998 they got married. Nina worked as a teacher: first in a kindergarten, and then in a school dormitory. Spouses love to spend time together - they go out into nature and ride bicycles. From time to time, Nina writes poetry, and Sergey plays football and volleyball.

At a young age, Sergey became acquainted with the Bible and in 1997 became one of Jehovah's Witnesses. His wife shares his beliefs and views on life.

The criminal prosecution of the believer caused bewilderment among those who know him. When the investigator repeatedly questioned Sergey's neighbors, no one spoke negatively about him. Employees at work also treat him well and respect him, and his superiors gave him a positive characteristic.

Sergey's mother does not understand why her son was accused of extremism. The man is worried about how his persecution will affect her already poor health.

Sergey and Nina support each other, do not lose their presence of mind and are glad that their friends are around.

Case History

At the end of December 2024, an investigator from the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation initiated a criminal case against unidentified individuals for participating in the activities of an extremist organization. A month later, Sergey Barsukov’s home was searched, and then he and his wife were interrogated. On the same day, another believer, Alik Yeliseyev, the father of a young child, also had his home searched.
