Biography
Aleksey Pislyakov was born in October 1992 in Petropavlovka, Krasnoyarsk Territory. About a year later, his father died. When he was 5, he was taken into care and trasferred at the age of 9 to a children's home. He stayed there until he was 16 years old. Apart from Aleksey, there were four more children in the family — three sons and a daughter. He kept in touch with his mother until her death in 2024.
As a teenager, Aleksey played a lot of sports — tennis, athletics, ice hockey and volleyball; he took an active part in the life of the class and school. In 2009, he entered a vocational college, where he qualified as gas electric welder. He worked as a welder, then in building maintenance and as a janitor in a kindergarten.
From 2013 to 2015, Aleksey did alternative civilian service in Krasnoyarsk at the post office. His Bible-based beliefs prompted him to make such a choice. He says: "I have had faith in God since childhood, but when I found out that his name was Jehovah, I was very impressed and I wanted to know more." As a result of Aleksey's spiritual search he was baptized in 2013.
A year later, he met his future wife, Svetlana. In 2015, they got married. Svetlana likes taking pictures, embroidering and reading fiction; Aleksey likes cycling, playing football, as well as chess and board games. Together, the couple travel by car, camp outdoors, go mushroom picking and relax with friends.
Colleagues are worried about Aleksey and do not understand why a criminal case was initiated against him.
