Biography
In April 2026, Kristina Bazrova, a mother of four, was interrogated and placed in a temporary detention facility for 2 days. Soon a criminal case was initiated against her because for attending peaceful meetings for worship.
Kristina was born in January 1985 in Vladikavkaz. She has an older brother. They moved with their mother to the city of Sumqayit (Azerbaijan) after the parents divorced. From childhood, their mother instilled in them a love for God: she read and explained Proverbs and Psalms; taught them to be honest and kind. She died tragically in 2015. "The loss of my mother was very hard for me," Kristina said. "Had I not known God and the hope for the future, I wouldn't have coped."
Kristina met Jehovah's Witnesses back in the 1990s during her school holidays in Ossetia. Later, in Azerbaijan, her mother began to associcate with the believers. Kristina was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in May 2022. "I studied the Bible for a very long time; I would sometimes stop studying, but I realized that I could not live without the truth," she explained.
In 2005, Kristina married David, an engineer. They have four sons. By the beginning of the prosecution, the two oldest were already students, two were still at school.
The love and support of fellow believers impressed Kristina's family. Their relatives believe that Jehovah's Witnesses are peaceful and friendly people and undeservedly came to the attention of law enforcement officers.
