Biography
In the summer of 2023, a peaceful believer Valeriy Klokov was prosecuted for his beliefs. Due to house arrest, the man lost his job, and it became more difficult for him to take care of his elderly grandmother, who is seriously ill.
Valeriy was born in August 1985 in the city of Ekibastuz (Kazakhstan). He has two brothers and a sister. In 1996, the family moved from Kazakhstan to Russia. The father is no longer alive, he has not communicated with his son since he was 7. Valeriy's mother died of cancer when he was 14, and a month and a half later his stepfather left him.
As a child, Valeriy was fond of music and reading fiction, loved to compose and perform songs on the guitar. He graduated with honors from secondary school and with honors from a music school in the accordion class.
Valery studied at the Altai Construction College and the Altai College of Architecture and Construction with a degree in plumber and welder. For several years after graduation, he worked as a shoe repairman, and until he was placed under house arrest, as a plumber.
Studying the Bible, Valeriy became convinced of its historical and scientific accuracy, as well as the practicality of its advice. All this prompted him to embark on the Christian path at a young age.
In 2004, Valeriy married Nataliya, whom he had known since adolescence. She has worked as a cook, salesman, and more recently in the field of keeping clean and order. Nataliya is fond of scrapbooking and soap making, and Valeriy still loves to read, write music and study vocals.
The criminal prosecution disrupted the usual way of life of the Klokovs: due to the loss of his job, Valeriy cannot take care of the material needs of the family, Nataliya's health problems have worsened. Valeriy's grandmother, who is already in her 90s, lives with the spouses. She needs constant care and expensive medications. Her pension is not even enough to meet her basic needs.
Relatives of Valeriy and Nataliya are perplexed as to how this respectable and law-abiding person can be prosecuted.
