Priests and officials, professional historians and amateur local historians, teachers and active parishioners from various parishes of the Kamensk diocese and Yekaterinburg gathered on March 18 at the Holy Trinity Cathedral. The full topic of the round table was: “Forms of perpetuating the memory of new martyrs and confessors who suffered in the 20-30s. XX century within the Ekaterinburg Metropolitanate."

When I meet with schoolchildren or students, I ask the question: “Who in the modern world, where the concept of spiritual and moral values ​​is blurred, is our guide and guide?” And, finishing my thought, I draw the attention of young people to those who lived before us, who suffered for the faith of Christ and for their Fatherland, who were not “ground.” The new martyrs and confessors of Russia are an example of human dignity and spirituality, faith and fidelity to God...

This is how Priest Boris Baroev, rector of the Church of the Nativity of Christ in the village of Altynay, Sukholozhsky district and chairman of the Kamensk diocese commission for perpetuating the memory of new martyrs and confessors of the Russian Church, began his speech.

In his presentation, Fr. Boris shared his experience of updating the memory of the holy martyrs using the example of the saints who suffered in Sukholozhye in 1918. These are the clergy Konstantin Alekseev and Vasily Infantiev, brutally killed by the Red Army soldiers: both were canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church in 2002.

This year, on the territory near the temple, the construction of a memorial dedicated to the holy martyr Konstantin Alekseev should be completed. His life was prepared and published, his image was painted, and calendars were printed. The plans include preparing the life of the holy martyr for children's reading.

The participants of the round table were shown a trailer (a short video of the most striking fragments) of a film about the life of the holy martyr Konstantin Alekseev. Now a new film is being prepared - about the holy martyr Vasily Infantiev. The work to perpetuate the memory of this saint has just begun. By the way, a film about him will be prepared with the participation of... the KVN team “Ural Dumplings”. The script is being prepared by Boris Baroev himself. “It is important that the film is understandable to any audience, including the unchurched,” the priest noted.

The speech of Andrei Vladimirovich Pecherin, chairman of the board of the Ural Church Historical Society (Ekaterinburg), was interesting. He told how this public organization was created and what it does today. It has been operating since 2010, mainly due to enthusiastic researchers. They are actively working in archives (today a huge electronic database of documents has been collected), and they are preparing printed collections based on research materials.

The society deals with issues of church genealogy and the history of churches and monasteries, but the main focus is still perpetuating the memory of the new martyrs.

A lot of new martyrs have been canonized, but how many people honor their memory after glorification?.. We decided to make our contribution... - noted A.V. Pecherin.

The Ural Church Historical Society annually holds scientific and practical conferences devoted to this topic, helps in painting icons of new martyrs, and makes films. In 2013, the Soyuz TV channel released 19 30-minute films about the new martyrs. This year a new project has been launched related to the history of the church in the Urals...

The head of the genealogy section of the Church Historical Society, Alexander Vladislavovich Kolesov, presented to the round table participants a list of 39 new martyrs of the Kamensk diocese. These are not only those who served here in churches and monasteries, but also those who were born in our diocese, although they suffered for the faith in other areas, as well as those who accepted their martyrdom on the territory of the Kamensk diocese.

39 people is, of course, a lot,” noted A.V. Pecherin. - Which is explained not so much by the special blessings of our region, but by the bitterness that accompanied the struggle for Soviet power here in 1918.

In the Kamensk city deanery alone there are 9 new martyrs, two of whom served in the Holy Trinity Cathedral (where the round table was held) before the brutal massacre (in the summer of 1918): Peter Korelin served in this church for 14 years, and Vasily Pobedonostsev - 27 years. 55-year-old Father Peter was arrested, taken to Tyumen, and then sent on a ship, where the beaten priest, with stones tied to his body, was thrown overboard into the waters of Tobol... 69-year-old Father Vasily was beheaded by soldiers of the Red Eagles regiment at the station Sinarskaya...

In the Kamensky district deanery there are 14 new martyrs, three of whom were clergy of the Presentation Church in the village of Kolchedanskoye. These are deacons Georgy Begma and Nestor Gudzovsky and priest Stefan Lukanin: in July 1918, they were brutally killed by the Red Eagles regiment, also at Sinarskaya station.

By the way, several round table participants expressed a wish to rename streets, squares, and stations bearing the name Red Eagles. The specialists replied that you need to contact local authorities: the issue is not immediate, but can be resolved...

Member of the Church Historical Society Valery Vasilyevich Bogomolov spoke interestingly about the peculiarities of working with archival documents and the need to clarify a number of historical facts in the lives of saints. His archive contains information on 600 Ural churches and monasteries. The local historian is ready to exchange it with colleagues and even send information for free.

V.V. Bogomolov drew attention, in particular, to the fact that sometimes researchers and clergy “forget” about the laity who suffered martyrdom along with the priest: their images are absent on the icons next to the new martyr. “But icons are a direct preaching of Orthodoxy...” Thus, the priest of the Travyansky Church, Alexander Popov, was brutally murdered in 1918 along with 9 peasants, with two of whom he was buried in the same grave...

The meeting was attended by an active local historian, a resident of the village of Travyanskoye, Evgenia Andreevna Bunkova. Thanks to her work and concern, a lot of material has been collected about the local priest Alexander Popov - his life and martyrdom.

Museum researcher Oksana Vitalievna Ivanova spoke about the experience of creating a museum of holiness, confession and asceticism in the Urals in the twentieth century (Ekaterinburg). In her opinion, today, speaking about the new martyrs, it is important to move from the topic of the horrors of repression to the topic of hope.

A similar idea was expressed by the founder of the charity foundation “Tenderness” (Verkhnyaya Salda) Elena Andreevna Vasilyeva: “I would like to say that the new martyrs ascended to Golgotha ​​not for the sake of Golgotha, but for the sake of eternal life, eternal joy...” E.A. Vasilyeva spoke about the initiatives of the Tavda residents in perpetuating the memory of the new martyrs. About how the whole world, instead of the previous temple, destroyed to the ground during the years of the Red Terror, erected the St. John the Theological Cathedral in 2009. About how activists finally defended the old cemetery, which a local entrepreneur had already begun to build on. And also about educating young people, about opening a shelter for expectant mothers who find themselves in difficult life situations...

In conclusion, the priest of the Holy Trinity Bishop's Compound, Rostislav Novitsky, was asked to speak. He is not only a priest, but also a professional icon painter. In particular, Fr. Rostislav painted the image of the new martyr Vasily Pobedonostsev. The speaker drew attention to the high demands that must be placed on an icon painter. “It is important not just for an icon to appear. It is important, with the blessing of the bishop, to set a high goal - to maintain the canonicity of the image and to perform the image professionally...”

The round table came to an end, but its participants did not leave for a long time: there were plenty of topics for discussion...

By the way, this studio’s film “Intercessors of Our Land” (about the life of the holy martyr Konstantin Alekseev) entered the top ten at the international festival of Orthodox media “Faith and Word.” Work is underway to perpetuate the memory of the new martyrs and confessors of the Russian Church.

The second direction of the Center is cultural and leisure work, which includes children's theatrical performances, the Orthodox women's club "Babiy Kut", museum and exhibition work. The third direction of the Center's activity is pilgrimage, the fourth is social and public service. At the meeting they also talked about the importance of patriotic education and the revival of the best traditions of our Fatherland.

You can learn more about all this very soon - on the website that should appear at the spiritual and educational center. There are also plans to create a library and organize an Orthodox children's camp.

The first deputy head of Sukhoi Log, Roman Valov, promised assistance and support to the Center from the city administration: - We are ready to support the events of the Spiritual and Educational Center, because its site is aimed at a good cause. Spiritual and moral education should concern not only young people, but also adults. And it is very important that the Center unites all Orthodox parishes. In March we will gather a general council where we will discuss everything in detail.

She drew special attention to the activities of the Center, which are related to perpetuating the memory of the new martyrs: - At the last Bishops' meeting, His Holiness the Patriarch especially emphasized the importance for society of the topic of the new martyrs. The chairman of the Synodal Commission for the Canonization of Saints, Bishop Pankraty of Trinity, also speaks about this. To the rank of Russian saints

Today there are 1,866 ascetics numbered in the Orthodox Church, including 1,776 new martyrs. And how many more have died for their faith, but have not yet been glorified... It is necessary to collect and study information about repressed Christians, evidence of their life and deeds in the name of faith. The spiritual and educational center in Sukhoi Log is the second in the Kamensk diocese. The first one was opened more than seven years ago in Tavda and today is actively working in many areas.

We hope that the activities of the Center in the name of the heavenly intercessor of the Sukhoi Log land will bring good results.

Feast of the Orthodox faith on Kamensk land

The second day of the Orthodox exhibition-fair was held under the auspices of the Sukholozhsky and Bogdanovichi deaneries and was dedicated to the memory of the holy martyrs Vasily Infantiev and Konstantin Alekseev, priests who suffered during the years of the Red Terror in the Sukholozhsky region.
