Biography
In the spring of 2021, the aw enforcement officers came with a search to Darya Kuzo, a mother of two young children. Her husband, Taras, was put under house arrest, and in the summer of that year and Darya herself became a defendant in a criminal case for her faith.
Darya was born in March 1982 in the city of Voronezh in a large family. She has two elder brothers, one of whom has been disabled since childhood, and a twin sister. At the age of four, Darya moved with her parents to Transcarpathia, and ten years later to Crimea. As a child, she loved to draw and to go to the mountains for mushroom and berries gathering or mushroom hunting.
In her 4th and 5th year's of studying in college while majoring in philology of the Ukrainian language and literature, Darya worked as a teacher in one of the schools in the city of Simferopol. After graduating from college, she moved to the city of Yalta, where she later worked as an administrator in a hotel. After some time, Darya graduated from hairdressing courses and worked at this job for several years. Since 2016, she has been selling professional cosmetics as an individual entrepreneur.
In Yalta, Darya met her future husband, Taras. In 2008 they got married. The family brings up a son and a daughter (at the time of the search they were 9 and 6 years old). Spouses love to go to the mountains, swim in the sea, play football.
Darya was introduced to the Bible at a young age. She was surprised at the practical advice contained in this book and the exact fulfillment of the prophecies. This prompted Darya, as well as her sister became Christian. At that time Darya was eighteen years old.
The persecution changed the life of the Kuzo family. The stress that they've experienced negatively affected the children. They are really looking forward to when their dad can go out with them again and they don’t understand why he was put behind bars.
Although the relatives do not share Darya's beliefs, it is not clear to them why this close neat couple is being persecuted. Even the neighbors are perplexed that this happened to a family known for its decency.
