Biography
In 2019, several residents of Saransk, including Georgy Nikulin, were prosecuted for their faith. Law enforcers considered the conversations about the Bible to be participation in the activities of an extremist organization.
Georgiy was born in 1963 in the city of Rovenky (Ukraine). After school, he graduated from college with a degree in car mechanics. Subsequently, he mastered several more specialties: graphic designer, satellite communications radio technician, equipment maintenance mechanic, printing, wood carving. He worked in all these areas. Recently he worked as an electrician.
Georgy often had to move in connection with work - he lived in Zhytomyr (Ukraine), Tolyatti (Samara region) and in Yakutia. Over time, together with his wife Elena , he moved to Saransk, where the family was able to settle in their own house for the first time.
George has always loved to learn and learn something new. He was especially interested in the question of the origin of mankind. He says that when he got acquainted with the Bible and found answers to his questions in it, he "discovered a whole treasure in it and fell in love with it."
Sudden criminal prosecution and a long stay in a pre-trial detention center undermined Georgy's health. His relatives are worried and still cannot understand why this peaceful married couple is being persecuted.
