Biography
Anastasiya Anufriyeva and her husband Vladimir were named in the same criminal case for their faith in Jehovah God. They were detained in the Astrakhan Region and brought to Kstovo, Nizhny Novgorod Region, where they were placed in a pretrial detention center.
Anastasiya was born in Ramenskoye (Moscow Region) in February 1983. She has a younger brother and sister. Their parents are pensioners. Her mother worked as an engineer, and her father continues to work at the plant as a deputy workshop manager.
In her youth, Anastasiya loved sports — skiing and ice skating. She graduated from a music school, specializing in the piano. With friends, she often visited museums, exhibitions, and went hiking.
Anastasiya graduated from the Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics; she worked as a storekeeper for some time. In her free time, she still does sports — running. She has learned to play the guitar, loves to knit and cook for guests.
From childhood, her mother instilled Christian values in Anastasiya. Being close to Jehovah's Witnesses, she saw that they live by high moral standards and show love for each other. In 2000, she got baptized.
Anastasiya married Vladimir in 2004. Together, the couple love to relax outdoors, go fishing and spend time with friends.
Anastasiya's father considers the prosecution of his daughter and her husband unfair. Her mother and sister are concerned that they can no longer spend time with a loved one. Relatives try to support Anastasiya in every possible way.
