"In our small one-room apartment, eight law enforcement officers barely fit," said Vyacheslav Yudin. The life of the family of a civilian resident of Vladivostok changed dramatically when they were raided with a search in September 2025.
Vyacheslav was born in Vladivostok. His father worked as a road safety engineer in the traffic police; his mother worked at the university at the Department of Soil Science. Both are no longer alive.
As a child, Vyacheslav was fond of sports: he went canoeing with his younger brother. He has an incomplete higher education, served in the army.
Vyacheslav asked himself two questions: what is the meaning of life and what is the truth? In 1991, the man met Jehovah's Witnesses and with their help found answers in the Bible. "My joy knew no bounds! I remember these happy moments with pleasure," the man expressed his feelings. Parents were very happy with the positive changes in the life of their son, who got rid of bad habits and made many friends. Inspired by his example, his father also began to read the Bible.
In 1992, Vyacheslav married Nina, who shared his religious views. They have children from their first marriage. One of Yudin's daughters was widowed during covid, leaft with two children. Vyacheslav helps them and loves to spend time with his grandchildren.
Vyacheslav's family met the persecution with courage. "Nina does not lose joy and hopes that soon the persecution will end and justice will prevail," the believer said.
