Biography
On 21 May 2020, criminal proceedings were instituted in Khakassia under article 282.2, part 2 (participation in a banned extremist organization), against six believers. Among them is a father of three sons, Peter Bozykov.
Peter was born in 1971 in the village of Novotroitskoye (Khakassia) and grew up in a large family with a brother and two sisters. As a child he attended various clubs, was fond of volleyball. After school, he graduated from Khakas Technical Institute in Abakan as a mechanical engineer for foundry production. For some time he worked as a locksmith, now he is a master of finishing works.
Reading the Bible, Peter became convinced that the prophecies from this book are being fulfilled, and he found the advice for life and happiness very practical. He was deeply touched by the principles from scripture and decided to follow them in his life.
His refusal to serve in the army and to take up arms turned into a year and a half imprisonment sentence for Peter. After his release in 1995 Peter married Karina, a sociable and cheerful girl working as a nurse. The spouses raised and brought up three sons.
Once again in the status of the accused for the faith, Peter cares mainly not for himself, but for his family - will the family be able to cope without him, if he is deprived of liberty? His family has similar concerns.
