Biography
Galina Inkina was born in October 1953 in the village of Iliinka, Kurgan Region. She has an older and a younger brother. Her parents are no longer alive. Galina's childhood was truly eventful and creative: she participated in school amateur performances, traveled during the holidays with performances from village to village, wrote poems and played in the puppet theater.
After school, she entered a cultural college in the city of Perm but left her studies after the second course — she got married and moved to Zaprudnya in the Moscow Region. There, Galina got a job as a laboratory assistant at the electric vacuum appliances plant, where she worked for 20 years. Then she was a social worker, and after retiring, she worked in a psychiatric hospital for a further 13 years. In her free time, she likes to crochet mittens and socks for her friends; she also takes care of homeless animals.
In the 1990s, Galina became seriously interested in the Bible. She was particularly moved by God's promise to recreate wonderful conditions on earth and bring dead loved ones back to life. She was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in 1997.
Galina has an adult son with whom she has a close relationship. "For 23 years we talk on the phone each day at 9 p.m. — my son calls to ask about my health," she said and added: "Now this is prohibited."
In December 2024, criminal prosecution of the believer began — armed law enforcement officers broke into her home to search it. She recalls: "I was put in the corridor facing the wall and told at gunpoint to stand like that. I was shaking all over from stress — my arms, my legs and everything inside."
Galina has several severe chronic illnesses; she has had eight operations. According to the believer, the prosecution has greatly affected her: " My veins swelled up, my legs get blue and swell up in the evening; the tracking bracelet digs into my leg."
For a while, the elderly woman was without means of communication and was deprived of the phone numbers of the doctors treating her. Nevertheless, Galina does not despair and is grateful for the prayers of her friends, the power of which she feels.
