was due in court Tuesday morning to face charges of violating an order of protection that Lyubov filed in Wheaton in 2014.

“The order of protection was out of Illinois, but the allegation is he violated it in Minnesota,” he said.

That order, filed on Aug. 27, 2014, claimed Lyubov Savenok was the victim of several domestic abuse incidents that month.

On Aug. 1, 2014, she wrote: “Hit me during sex. I yelled, pushed him off and called the police. He broke a window out of rage.”

Nine days later, on Aug. 10, 2014, she said he “wrestled and hit me repeatedly (45 min), left bruises and bloody nose.”

She wrote on Aug. 25, 2014, that he “pulled me up by the hair.”

Finally, on Aug. 27, 2014, she wrote, “The only way this will end is me in the hospital or him in jail.”

Court records also show Lyubov filed for divorce in DuPage County on Nov. 5, 2014, but voluntarily rescinded the filing on April 14, 2015.

The Rev. Edward Mamalat, of the First Russian Baptist Church in Wheaton, said he knew Yeveginy Savenok “really well” before the family left his church in 2009.

“I don’t even know what to think. I just know that I know him, that he’s from a good family,” Mamalat said. “There were no indications that something would happen like this in our community or in the family. This is just like such a surprise.”
