Biography


In May 2024, Irina Kamshilova, a civilian resident of Kurgan, was prosecuted because of her belief in Jehovah God. This has had a serious impact on the health of a woman who is disabled.


Irina was born in March 1968 in Kurgan. She is the only child in the family. Her mother is no longer alive.


As a child, Irina loved history and read a lot. After school, she entered a vocational technical school, where she received the specialties of a tile laying master and plasterer-painter. She practically did not work in her profession, and in 1996 she received a disability.


In her free time, Irina loves to knit. Together with their daughter, they set aside time for exercise, take care of the garden and love to communicate with friends, including those from different cities.


Irina has believed in God since childhood. When her grandfather died, she was very worried. What she later read in the Bible about the condition of the dead encouraged and comforted her. Irina wanted to become a Christian, which she did in 2001.


Irina's family has already been searched twice. After the first, in 2021, the believer developed a heart disease due to stress, and she was also diagnosed with leukemia. Irina's condition worsened, among other things, due to the fact that she and her daughter were repeatedly summoned for interrogations, where they were subjected to pressure and provocations from investigators. Irina's daughter, who shares her views, worries about her mother and considers the accusations against her unfounded.
