Biography

Stanislav Kim, a forensic expert from Khabarovsk, faced criminal prosecution in 2018 for beliefs that once saved his life. He was convicted twice for his faith: in 2020 and 2024. The first time, the man received a two-year suspended sentence, and the second time, more than 8 years in a penal colony.

Stanislav was born in Khabarovsk in 1968. As a child, he loved to sing, play chess and checkers, participated in various sports competitions. He grew up inquisitive and read a lot.

Having received a higher legal education, Stanislav worked for many years as a forensic expert in the Federal Drug Control Service. He was known as an honest, responsible worker, has numerous awards and gratitude. "When I was hired, I declared my faith in Jehovah God, and the internal security department conducted a thorough check. As a result, they gave permission to work in this structure. I'm sure if I had any violations of the law because of my religion, I would have been fired right away. But my faith in God not only did not prevent me from serving in this structure, but helped me a lot," Stanislav said.

In 2008, Stanislav married Olesya, who is fond of photography and video, and runs a culinary blog. The couple have two children, one of whom has been disabled since childhood. The Kim family loves to spend time together, go out into nature and chat with friends.

Recalling his meeting with Jehovah's Witnesses, Stanislav said: "Once in my life there was a black streak: I found out that my son was terminally ill. After that, I was involved in several serious car accidents, getting injured, and once, while standing up for a woman, I received a blow to the head, as a result of which I underwent two surgeries, and part of my skull was removed. After that, I went into a severe depression, and even suicidal thoughts began to appear. Thank you that after those events, Jehovah's Witnesses came to me and helped me get out of this state by revealing the truths from God's Word, the Bible."

Throughout the criminal prosecution, the parents supported Stanislav and Olesya, despite their age and health problems. Those who know Stanislav well, including relatives and friends who do not share his beliefs, believe that the believer did not deserve such a verdict.
