Biography

Yelena Rumyantseva had not yet had time to recover from the tragic events in her family, when in February 2022, a criminal case was opened against her, as well as against her daughter Vasilina, for faith, accusing the woman of extremism.


Yelena was born in May 1972 in the village of Otradnaya, Krasnodar Territory. Later, the family moved to Sakhalin. Yelena is the eldest child in the family; Her brother died at a young age, her sister has a disability.


As a child, Yelena was fond of dancing and photography. She also loved to sew, and this determined the choice of profession: the girl studied at the training and production plant as a master of sewing outerwear and began working as a seamstress.


In 1996, Yelena married Mikhail, and a year later their daughter Vasilina was born. After that, the family moved to Norilsk, but later returned to the Krasnodar Territory to be closer to Yelena's parents. In 2019, the woman buried her beloved husband, and two years later, due to oncology, her father, whom she cared for for 2 years until death, was gone. Despite the grief experienced, Yelena remains active and hospitable: she enjoys cooking and listening to music, as well as spending time with friends.


In 2006, after a thorough study of the Bible, Yelena decided to become one of Jehovah's Witnesses. She was impressed by the opportunity to develop a close relationship with God and unity among fellow believers from different countries. Later, Yelena's daughter, Vasilina, joined her.


"Criminal prosecution has divided our lives into before and after," Yelena said. — "I cannot work at full strength, move freely, and the health of my mother, whom I take to the city for examinations, depends on it. My relatives are at a loss why I am accused of separating families if I have been caring for a disabled mother for seven years."
