Biography
On January 28, 2020, Gennady Polyakevich was imprisoned in Pechora (Komi Republic) as a result of mass searches in the homes of civilians.
Gennadiy was born in 1959 in the village of Irayol, Komi Republic, in a family of ordinary villagers. His father, Joseph, worked as a driver, and his mother, Augustine, worked as a cleaner at school. Gennady was the eldest of two brothers in the family. Childhood was not easy, the family was not rich, often toys for children were replaced by planks, bricks and a rich imagination.
After graduating from school and serving in the army, Gennady worked for a short time as a bricklayer at a construction site, and then graduated from the technical school of communications and got a job in his specialty in Pechora. Later he studied in absentia at the Leningrad Institute named after Bonch-Bruevich. Gennadiy worked at the communications enterprise for more than 30 years, received the title of veteran of labor and master of communications.
According to the stories of Gennady, at an early age, looking at the stars, he thought about their creator. His parents were the first to get acquainted with the Bible, and later Gennady also decided to learn more about what was written in this book. New knowledge prompted him to embark on the path of a Christian, which he did in 1994.
Around this time, Gennady met Elvira, who shared his newfound values. He married her in 1996 and adopted her young child. In 2003, the couple had a daughter, Elina. Elvira has been working in one of the pharmacies in Pechora for many years and, like her husband, has a good reputation among her colleagues.
According to Gennadiy's relatives, he always devoted a lot of time to helping friends and acquaintances. Criminal prosecution in one day destroyed the calm happy life of the family. Sleepless nights and fear followed at every knock on the door. At the same time, family members are determined to respond to events in a Christian way and continue to rely on God.
