Biography


Aleksey Timofeyev believes that a Christian should not use weapons and even learn to do so. Upon reaching military age, he completed non-military alternative service, working as a postman. In April 2024, he was accused of extremism and imprisoned in a pre-trial detention center, considering it a crime to talk to others about God.


Aleksey was born in January 1994 in Petrozavodsk (Karelia). He has two elder brothers and a younger brother. Their parents are retired.


Since childhood, Aleksey loved to play football. During his teenage years, he participated in school volleyball tournaments, was fond of chess, collected car models, and also bred cacti.


After school, Aleksey graduated from a technical school and received the qualification of an electrical technician. For some time he worked in private construction companies. Sometimes the young man was engaged in tutoring—he taught mathematics. He also worked in the field of cleanliness.


Aleksey's mother was the first in the Timofeyev family to become interested in biblical teachings, so from early childhood she instilled high moral standards in her son. At the age of 12, he read the Bible. He was touched by the prophecies and historical accuracy of the Holy Scriptures, and he developed a desire to help people learn about God. At the age of 19, Aleksey decided to become one of Jehovah's Witnesses.


In 2020, Aleksey met Marina, and 2 years later they got married. Marina is a civil engineer by profession, she worked as a surveyor in her hometown of Cherepovets (Vologda region) at a large metallurgical plant.

Marina is a creative person; she paints oil paintings and makes gifts in the style of scrapbooking.

According to this decision, Dolganov should serve his sentence a month and a half earlier.
