Biography
Dmitriy Mladov was searched, interrogated and thrown into jail in December 2024. This deprived him of the opportunity to take care of his elderly mother, whose younger son died in April 2024. In addition, Dmitriy can no longer help his widowed father-in-law, who has a disability.
Dmitriy was born in September 1979 in the city of Kandalaksha, Murmansk Region, into a family of workers. He had a younger brother. Their father worked as a milling machine operator. He died of a serious illness at the age of 51. Since his mother was in a difficult emotional state, Dmitriy, as an elder brother, took care of the younger one.
Dmitriy has an incomplete higher education with a degree in thermal power plants. He worked as an antenna tuner, an electrician at the Kandalaksha seaport, and a radio fitter.
Dmitry served in the Navy for ten months, but because of a sudden stomach ulcer, he was discharged. At various times, the believer lived in Kandalaksha, Plesetsk (Arkhangelsk region), Dubna (Moscow region), Novorossiysk (Krasnodar Territory), where he moved to take care of the test.
In the early 2000s, Dmitriy met Jehovah's Witnesses. He liked the consistency of the Bible and the fact that he was able to get answers to his questions: how to find God? what is the condition of the dead? The believer broke all ties with bad company and in 2002 became one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
In 2012, Dmitry married Yuliya, who shares his views on life. Yuliya is an English language teacher. She and Dmitry have many common interests: music, traveling, hiking in nature, baking bread.
The arrest prevented Dmitriy from recovering from the operation. In addition, hearing problems created difficulties in perceiving the words of the judge during court hearings. Yuliya experienced an emotional shock because of the search and interrogation. Due to stress their elderly parents had exacerbated chronic illnesses.
