Biography
In July 2020, a series of searches were carried out in the homes of peaceful believers in Vladivostok. Among the victims was Violetta Verigina.
Violetta was born in Syktyvkar in 1985. Her father was a military man, her mother worked in a diagnostic center. As a child, she was fond of gymnastics, aerobics, dancing and studied English. After school, she graduated from the Komi State Pedagogical Institute as a teacher of English and French. She also received an additional specialty "translator in the field of professional communication".
For some time she worked as an administrator in a hotel, and then - and until now - as an English teacher. Violetta still enjoys playing sports. She also loves to travel around Russia, visit theaters, watch movies and listen to pop music.
As a child, Violetta began to realize her need for spiritual development, and with the help of her grandmother, she was able to satisfy it, finding answers to her questions in the Bible. In 2016, Violetta met Roman, a man who shares her life values and spiritual interests. They got married and settled in Vladivostok.
Unjustified criminal prosecution and the associated stress caused Violetta's health to deteriorate. The Verigins also suffered financially: their bank accounts are blocked, the spouses constantly have to leave work in connection with the trial.
Violetta's parents, who do not share her religious beliefs, are outraged by the persecution of their daughter and deny her involvement in extremist activities.
