Perry County General Sessions and Juvenile Court Judge Katerina Vatulina Moore was born in the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, home to Europe’s largest power station, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. In a recent article from the Administrative Office of the Courts, Moore details growing up in Ukraine and weighs in on Russia’s invasion of her home country. “When my birth city was hit, it became real that the war was right there,” Moore said. “It makes you feel helpless at times. My heart goes out to the people.” Moore first came to the U.S. in 1996 for 10-months as a high school exchange student. She returned for college in 1999 and upon graduating entered law school at the University of Tennessee College of Law. From there, Moore went to work at the Spitzer Firm in Hohenwald and became a U.S. citizen in 2008. She later opened her own firm and in 2014 was elected to the bench in Perry County.
