Biography
In the summer of 2021, the life of peaceful pensioner Alexandr Shutov changed dramatically — his house and his wife were searched, and the believer learned that a criminal case had been initiated against him only because of his faith in Jehovah God.
Alexandr was born in December 1952 in the village of Pionersky, Irkutsk Region. He has a sister.
Alexandr graduated from five classes of school, and from the age of 15 he worked on a collective farm. Later he worked as a driver and handyman.
From childhood, his parents instilled in Alexandr a love for biblical truths. He himself embarked on the Christian path when he was 23 years old.
Alexandr lived in Alma-Ata (Kazakhstan), Usolye-Sibirsky (Irkutsk Region) and Partizansk (Primorsky Territory). Later, he settled in the village of Kotikovo, Vyazemsky district, Khabarovsk Territory.
In 1973 Alexandr married Rosa. His wife shares his views on life. They have adult children.
Regarding the criminal case, Alexandr says: “Persecution is an unpleasant feeling if you are not guilty of anything.” Relatives are outraged that this decent man was equated with extremists.
