Biography

In the summer of 2021, Denis Suvorov's younger brother, Danil, was detained because of his belief in Jehovah God. Six months later, Denis also became a suspect in a criminal case on extremism because of his peaceful religious beliefs.

Denis was born in November 1991 in the city of Almetyevsk (Tatarstan). From childhood to this day, he loves hockey, football and tennis. After school he graduated from the Almetyevsk Polytechnic College and received the profession of a mechanic. He worked in his specialty, repairing oil equipment.

Denis's mother instilled high moral standards in her sons from childhood. At the age of 18, Denis embarked on the Christian path. He was impressed by the biblical promises that there would be no more injustice.

After studying, Denis asked for the replacement of military service with an alternative civilian one. He served as a postman in his hometown.

In 2017, Denis moved to Sochi, where he repaired refrigeration equipment. At a new place, he met Anastasiya, and in October 2021 they got married. Anastasiya worked as a confectioner. He is fond of activities related to creativity—sewing, needlework, drawing, cooking. The couple loves to go for walks and picnics together.

The father of Denis and Danil, who has different religious beliefs, wonders why peaceful people who do no harm to anyone are subjected to criminal prosecution.

Case History

In August 2021, a wave of searches took place in Sochi as part of a criminal case against Danil Suvorov. He was detained and placed in custody. The believer was accused of involving a local resident (as it turned out later, an embedded informant) in the activities of an extremist organization. Six months later, the investigator of the Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee for the Krasnodar Territory, A. G. Andrianov, also opened a criminal case against his elder brother, Denis. Both brothers are charged with two articles: participation in the activities of an extremist organization and involvement in it.
