I was interested in faith and they almost arrested me for it. It was embarrassing.

-Jiří Březina was born on June 14, 1943, in the village of Praskačka near Hradec Králové. However, he and his parents soon moved to Hradec Králové, where his father commanded the local military garrison and therefore received an official apartment in the city. Later, his father refused to join the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSČ), which led to his rank being taken away and his dismissal from the army. Jiří Březina enrolled at a technical secondary school specializing in water management, successfully completed his studies, and in the early 1960s was admitted to the Czech Technical University (ČVUT) in Prague. He graduated in 1968 and then completed his mandatory one-year military service, which he spent in the Dejvice district of Prague. During the period of normalization, he and his wife began to reflect on questions of religion, reading the Bible and discussing matters of faith. As a result, Jiří Březina was repeatedly summoned to the State Security (StB) headquarters for questioning. After the Velvet Revolution, he began working as a private entrepreneur in Hradec Králové. In 2023, he was living with his family in Hradec Králové.
