Biography
Sergey Nazarov was born in the village of Vyselki, Krasnodar Territory, where he has spent most of his life. His mother worked as a nurse in a hospital for more than 25 years and is now retired and lives alone. His father left the family when Sergey was still little and therefore, he barely knows him. Sergey was the second child in a large family, having two brothers and two sisters. His older brother died in adulthood.
As a child, Sergey liked playing football, table tennis, and chess. He also loved going fishing.
In 2008, Sergey completed courses for a boiler room operator. He worked in this profession, also as a locksmith and a construction laborer. In recent years, he has worked on a self-employed basis as a specialist at construction sites. He still loves fishing and he enjoys the outdoors.
When Sergey was 37, he began studying the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses. He was impressed by the conduct of the believers and how they treated each other. What he learned from the Holy Scriptures changed his life: he stopped abusing alcohol, swearing, and became an honest and responsible person. In 2025, Sergey became a Christian, one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Sergey met his wife Inessa when they were young, and after a while they got married. The couple has four children. Inessa is a housewife and carer for their oldest son, who is severely disabled. Their oldest daughter is married and is already raising her own children. Their youngest son worked at a construction site before serving in the army. Their youngest daughter works in retail.
In 2022 and 2024, searches were carried out in the home of the Nazarov family. These searches were a serious test: tension and anxiety affected all members of the family emotionally and physically. His disabled son suffered the most: after the first search, his health deteriorated drastically and he spent 3 months in hospital. Sergey said: "It seemed that we were being watched everywhere. Our hearts stopped at every knock on the neighbors gate and every time a dog barked. But gradually we recovered. Prayers, Bible reading and the support of our friends helped us."
