Biography

Eduard Merinkov was born in January 1975 in Pechora (Komi Republic). He has a younger sister. Since childhood, he loves to relax and walk in nature. Especially he was drawn to the river Pechora, on which stands the city of the same name. He was fond of modeling sailing ships.

Eduard graduated from vocational school as a crane driver, but most of his life he worked on railway transport in various specialties. Last time works as the compiler of trains. In 1997 he married Valentina. The spouses are bringing up daughter Iolanta.

Since 1992, Eduard is very interested in the spiritual. Reflections on the Bible led him to the idea that there should be a loving Creator. By the second half of the 1990s, both spouses were convinced Christians.

At first, it was difficult for Eduard and Valentina to adapt to life under pressure from the state because of their faith. However, the family was not discouraged and maintained a positive attitude.
