In 1988, Igor married Luciena, the couple had a daughter, Yelizaveta. In the early 2000s, the man decided to bring his life in line with Christian values, thanks to the study of the Holy Scriptures. He said: "Studying the Bible, I learned to love people, to get rid of envy, malice and hatred . . . found answers to many of his questions and found out: what is the meaning of life; what happens at death; why we get sick, grow old and eventually die; found practical advice on how to create family happiness; how to find joy in work and build relationships with people around you. Through reading and studying the Bible, I have been able to develop the qualities that the Creator wants to see in all people, such as meekness, kindness, self-control, and patience. It has benefited both me and my family."
In their free time, the couple likes to relax together in nature. Before his arrest, due to Luciena's health condition, Igor spent a lot of time caring for his wife. The criminal prosecution of her husband had a negative impact on the woman's health.
