Biography
On March 13, 2019, at least seven civilians were searched in Severodvinsk (Arkhangelsk region) because of their beliefs. The investigation suspects that one of them, Vladimir Teterin, participated in religious services. A written undertaking not to leave was taken from him. What is known about this man?
Vladimir was born in 1957 in Berezniki (present-day Perm region). He has siblings, and both parents are no longer alive. In his youth he was fond of martial arts and kettlebell lifting. For some time the family lived in Tatarstan before moving to Severodvinsk.
Vladimir received the profession of a welding engineer-technologist, in the early 2000s he took first places in the regional and all-Russian competitions of professional skills among masters of industrial training. He is now retired.
In the 1990s, Vladimir began to research the Bible and discovered its historical and scientific accuracy, as well as the honesty of its writers. However, the desire to live according to the biblical commandments eventually led to the initiation of a criminal case. Vladimir's wife, children and other relatives do not share his religious views, but are extremely perplexed by the fact that peace-loving people are massively accused of extremism. The children are worried that their sick retired father may be imprisoned for 10 years, from which he may not be released.
