Martyr Nadezhda Azhgerevich

Hieromartyr Demetrius (Dobroserdov), Holy Martyrs Ambrose (Astakhov), Pachomius (Turkevich) and Varlaam (Efimov), Holy Martyr John Khrenov, Holy Martyr Tatiana (Familyless), Martyr Nikolai Rein, Martyrs Maria Volnukhina and Nadezhda Azhgerevich

Hieromartyr Dimitri (in the world Ivan Ivanovich Dobroserdov) was born on January 22, 1864 in the village of Pakhotny Ugol, Tambov province, into the family of a priest. After graduating from the Tambov Theological Seminary in 1885, he was appointed teacher of the zemstvo school in Morshansky district, where he worked until 1889. During this time, he repeatedly received gratitude from the Morshansky Zemstvo Assembly and the Tambov Provincial School Council for his diligent and successful work in the field of public education. Got married. On May 6, 1889, Ivan Ivanovich was ordained a priest to the St. Nicholas Church in the village of Mamontovo, Tambov province, which then had a population of about two thousand people, and was appointed head and teacher of the law at the Mamontov parochial school. Soon, Father John’s wife and children died. Left alone, he left the Tambov province and in 1894 entered the Moscow Theological Academy. Upon graduating in 1898 with a candidate of theology degree, he was appointed teacher of the law at the 4th Moscow Gymnasium and priest of the gymnasium church. On April 10, 1899, Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna Vladimir (Epiphany) appointed Priest John rector of the Annunciation Church at the gymnasium. In the same year, the Pedagogical Society at the Imperial Moscow University elected him as its full member, and the branch of the Pedagogical Society for Religious and Moral Education and Upbringing elected him as its secretary. On May 6, 1908, he was awarded a pectoral cross for his services in the spiritual department. At this time, Metropolitan Vladimir of Moscow invited Father John to his place and said: “Father John, we basically have two paths: the family path and the monastic path. The family path is closed to you. I advise you to take monasticism.” Father John agreed and in December 1908, in the Smolensk Zosimova Monastery of the Moscow Diocese, he was tonsured a monk with the name Dimitri, elevated to the rank of archimandrite and appointed synodal sacristan and rector of the Church of the Twelve Apostles in the Kremlin. In 1909, Archimandrite Dimitri was appointed observer of the novitiate schools of the stauropegic monasteries. In 1910, he was elected a full member of the church-archaeological department of the Society of Lovers of Spiritual Enlightenment. At this time, he was also a full member of the Guardianship of the Slavs studying in Moscow of the St. Petersburg Slavic Charitable Society. On May 18, 1914, in the Assumption Cathedral of the Kremlin, Archimandrite Dimitri was consecrated Bishop of Mozhaisk, vicar of the Moscow diocese and appointed rector of the Savino-Storozhevsky Monastery. From the same year, he began to serve as head of theological pedagogical courses in Moscow. At the same time, he was entrusted with the main leadership and supervision of the publication of a scientific, artistically illustrated description of the Patriarchal Sacristy. In 1921, His Grace Dimitry was appointed Bishop of Stavropol. Renovationists in the Stavropol diocese won an almost complete victory over the Orthodox, who lost the majority of their parishes. One of the reasons for this was the mass extermination of the clergy during the Civil War era in 1918-1921. Under the pressure of the Renovationists, Bishop Demetrius was forced to leave the diocese and move to Moscow. In 1922, the Orthodox Christians of the Tambov diocese waged a stubborn struggle against the Renovationists. At first, the renovationists managed to capture most of the churches in some cities. In the city of Kozlov, fourteen churches went to the renovationists, only two churches remained Orthodox. The Orthodox people, however, did not visit renovationist churches, but went to the Trinity Monastery, located three kilometers from the city. After Patriarch Tikhon was released from prison in 1923, the diocesan council of the city of Kozlov sent its representatives to Moscow with a request to appoint an Orthodox bishop to them. On September 26, 1923, the Right Reverend Dimitry was appointed Bishop of Kozlovsky, vicar of the Tambov diocese and temporary administrator of the Tambov diocese. After the arrival of Right Reverend Demetrius in the city, the Renovationists brought repentance and all the churches, with the exception of one, passed to the Orthodox. His Eminence Demetrius served in all the churches of the city; he was a wonderful preacher. Over time, his popularity among Orthodox Christians grew more and more. The renewal movement in the diocese was threatened with complete defeat. The representative of the Tambov department of the OGPU for the Kozlov district wrote: “At the head of the Tikhonov movement in the city of Kozlov and the district, as well as the entire Tambov province, is Bishop Dimitri, a very cunning and cautious man, who enjoys enormous authority among believers, and especially among kulaks and the dark element. Bishop Dimitri very cunningly pursues a policy of appointing his priests to the places occupied by the priests-renovationists, that is, the priest who turns to him for an appointment, he offers to go to the village and get from a group of believers a protocol decree about the desire to have a priest sent by Bishop Dimitri in the parish; Of course, with this approach to the matter, the sent priest has no choice but to conduct agitation against the priest in the parish, accusing him of heresy, communism, and the like. Since the abolition of the Diocesan Administration, all power has passed into the hands of Bishop Demetrius... to whom... the priests obey, since otherwise, one who disobeys with the help of the agitation of the priests sent by Demetrius risks losing his place and turning into a heretic. Thanks to the authority and politics of Dmitry, the Tikhonov movement in the city of Kozlov and the district is growing by leaps and bounds. The greatest evil for the renovationist movement are also monks, whose appointment Demetrius denies, citing the fact that he has nothing to do with this either, since monks, again, are the chosen ones of the people. The return of the Pyatnitskaya city of Kozlov church by order of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee to the Tikhonites from the renovationists made it possible to further raise the heads of the Tikhonites and further strengthen their authority, in particular the authority of Bishop Dimitry... And up to 90% of the entire clergy, followers of the former Patriarch Tikhon, are in the city of Kozlov and the district. In the field of work among the clergy, we have taken the following measures: an urgent registration of all clergy is being carried out, measures are being taken to terminate the contracts of Tikhonov-type groups in favor of the Renovationists... It is planned to create a Diocesan Administration with an equal percentage of Tikhonovites and Renovationists...” During Lent of 1925, Bishop Dimitri began to be frequently summoned for interrogation at the OGPU. Sometimes after interrogations he immediately went to the temple, where they were waiting for him to begin the service. The authorities insisted that the ruler leave Kozlov, but he refused. They began to threaten him with imprisonment. In the end, citing a heart condition, he asked the authorities to release him to Egypt for treatment. He was issued a foreign passport, and he went to the British embassy in Moscow to obtain permission to enter the then British colony. Having successfully completed all the documents, the Right Reverend Dimitry went to Sergiev Posad the next day to say goodbye to Alexander Dmitrievich Samarin, who was once the Chief Prosecutor of the Holy Synod, with whom the Bishop was on friendly terms. On the way to Samarin's house, he was stopped by a horseman, and the bishop was arrested. From the prison in Sergiev Posad he was sent to the Lubyanka prison in Moscow, where he spent a week, and then was released with orders to go to Kozlov. In Kozlov he was arrested and taken to Tambov. In Tambov, Bishop Dimitry was released from prison and went to Moscow, where he had the opportunity to concelebrate with the Locum Tenens of the Patriarchal Throne, Metropolitan Peter, at the all-night vigil on the eve of the celebration of the memory of the Great Martyr Catherine. This was the last service for the Locum Tenens; three days later he was arrested. In 1926, Bishop Dimitri served in Moscow churches and in the Moscow region. In July 1926, the OGPU commissioner Tuchkov summoned the bishop and demanded that he leave the capital. Citing a bad heart, the bishop said that he would leave for Kislovodsk. Before leaving, Bishop Dimitri went to the Deputy Patriarchal Locum Tenens, Metropolitan Sergius (Stragorodsky), who, due to the extraordinary circumstances of governing the Church in conditions of incessant persecution, divided the Stavropol diocese into two and entrusted Bishop Dimitri with the management of the newly created Pyatigorsk diocese. Vladyka settled in Kislovodsk, where he rented a room in an area called Ryabova Balka, on the outskirts of the city behind the railway station, not far from the Panteleimon Church, in which he often served. On April 14, 1932, Bishop Demetrius was elevated to the rank of archbishop. On March 23, 1934, he was appointed Archbishop of Mozhaisk, vicar of the Moscow diocese. In Moscow, Vladyka settled in the gatehouse at the Elias Church on Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya Street, where he lived until his arrest. Archbishop Dimitry was arrested on September 29, 1937 and imprisoned in Butyrka prison. Immediately after the arrest, interrogations began, which on October 9 were formalized in the form of a protocol and signed by the archbishop. Archbishop Demetrius did not plead guilty and did not agree to incriminate anyone. – The investigation has evidence that you, among those around you, stated that there was persecution of religion and the clergy in the USSR. Do you confirm this? – the investigator asked. “I do not confirm this, and I have not announced this to anyone,” answered the archbishop. – The investigation knows that you spread counter-revolutionary provocative rumors that Metropolitan Peter was allegedly shot by the Soviet authorities. How do you know this? – I know from Metropolitan Sergius (Stragorodsky) that Metropolitan Peter died in exile in December 1936, but I did not hear from anyone about his execution and did not spread such rumors. Along with Archbishop Dimitri, Archimandrite Ambrose (Astakhov), Abbot Pachomius (Turkevich), Deacon John Khrenov, monk Varlaam (Efimov), nun Tatyana (Besfamilnaya), laymen Nikolai Rein, Maria Volnukhina and Nadezhda Azhgerevich were arrested.

The Venerable Martyr Ambrose (in the world Alexey Anikeevich Astakhov) was born in 1860 in the village of Borisovka, Lebedyansky district, Tambov province, into a peasant family. Until 1925, he lived in the monastery, and after its closure, in various villages of the Moscow region, in particular in the village of Aksinino, Krasnogorsk district, and spiritually cared for the nuns and novices of the Golovinsky monastery. – Who visited you at your apartment and for what purposes? – the investigator asked. “I was visited by my admirers who turned to me for various advice,” answered Archimandrite Ambrose. – What advice did you give to your fans? – I gave advice only on matters of family life. – The investigation has evidence that you treated your admirers in an anti-Soviet spirit. Do you confirm this? – Yes, I really said that the Soviet government persecutes religion and the clergy, I said that the Soviet government is the power of the Antichrist, sent to punish the people for their sins. – Explain your views on Soviet power. – I am hostile to the Soviet government, I believe that the Soviet government destroys churches, exiles completely innocent clergy and believers. According to my convictions, I am a monarchist, and I view Soviet power as a temporary phenomenon... People in Russia, who through their stupidity overthrew the tsar, now repent of this, because they see a lot of injustice from the Soviet government, which did not happen under the tsar.

The Venerable Martyr Pachomius (in the world Pavel Akimovich Turkevich) was born in 1864 in the town of Milyanovichi, Kovel district, Volyn province, into the family of a blacksmith. He labored in the Chrysostom Monastery until its closure in 1923. In the late twenties and early thirties, being in old age, he lived in Moscow with his spiritual children. “Your attitude towards the Soviet government,” the investigator asked Abbot Pachomius during the interrogation. – I consider the Soviet government to be the power of the Antichrist, which was sent by God to the people as punishment.

Hieromartyr John was born on September 3, 1888 in the city of Moscow into the family of Semyon Khrenov, an employee of the Tagansk prison. The family was very religious and pious. From early childhood, Ivan went to pray at the Novospassky Monastery, located not far from the house where they lived. Over time, he began to sing in the choir along with the monks and was a reader at some services. In 1907, Ivan Semenovich graduated from the Pedagogical Institute, but did not become a teacher; he did not feel a calling to this profession and saw that he was faced with great difficulties in explaining educational material to children. He first got a job as an accountant in the Tagansk prison, and then Hieroschemamonk Aristokliy, with whom Ivan Semenovich was well acquainted, helped him get a job as an accountant in the Moscow Merchant Bank. In 1911, Ivan Semenovich married the girl Evdokia. She was from a pious family and a parishioner of the Novospassky Monastery, where they met. After the nationalization of banks in 1917, Ivan Semenovich began working as an accountant in government agencies in Moscow. After the closure of the Novospassky Monastery, he, like all the parishioners of the monastery, began to go to the Church of the Forty Martyrs located next to the monastery; there he was offered to accept the rank of deacon. The choice was very serious, and Ivan Semenovich went to the Church of St. Nicholas on Maroseyka to Archpriest Alexy Mechev to consult with him and take a blessing. Father Alexy blessed, and in 1921 Bishop Hilarion (Troitsky) of Vereya ordained him to the rank of deacon at the Church of the Forty Martyrs. At that time there was still a Sunday school at the church, which Deacon John began to lead. He served here for about a year; At that time, strife began in the temple, and he left it. Then he served for some time in the Trinity Church in Kotelniki. While serving in the Church of the Forty Martyrs and in the Trinity Church, Deacon John continued to work as an accountant. Father John's family, consisting of his wife and daughter, was friendly; They devoted all their free time on weekdays to reading spiritual books, and especially the lives of saints, reading the lives of every day. On Sundays and holidays, and whenever possible, they went to church. At the beginning of the 1930s, Father John was summoned to the OGPU and told him: “You are a good worker, we checked you, we offer you to work as an agent for us, inform us about everyone who works with you.” Father John answered this: “I cannot do this, because I have the rank of deacon.” - And you will remove yourself from the rank of deacon. “God gave it, God will take it away from me,” answered Father John. The OGPU employees did not insist any further, and one of them said: “We would like more such persistent people.” In 1937, it was reported to Deacon John that many clergy were visiting his apartment, and they came to search and arrest him. During the search, they found a certificate stating that he had been ordained to the rank of deacon. “Well, here’s another thing,” one of the searchers said with satisfaction. During interrogations, Father John confirmed that he still holds the rank of deacon and does not want to remove the rank. As for the accusations of counter-revolutionary activities, he does not plead guilty to this.

The Venerable Martyr Varlaam (in the world Vasily Sevastyanovich Efimov) was born on April 12, 1903 into the family of pious Moscow residents Sevastyan and Mavra Efimov. He worked as a courier in the 33rd police station. In 1935, he secretly took monastic vows with the name Varlaam. He was arrested on September 29, 1937. He was accused of being “hostile towards the Soviet regime and conducting systematic anti-Soviet agitation among those around him. He provided his apartment for secret services and overnight accommodation for the clergy returning from exile. In 1935, he took monastic vows as a secret monk, to which he persuaded his other like-minded people.” The investigator asked him how the priestly vestments got into his apartment. Vasily Sevastyanovich replied that it was left by Hieroschemamonk Aristoklius, whom his entire family deeply revered and who performed prayer services in their apartment several times. But “at this time he is no longer alive, since he died about five years ago,” explained Vasily Sevastyanovich. He pleaded not guilty to anything. On October 17, 1937, the NKVD troika sentenced monk Varlaam (Efimov) to ten years in prison, and he was sent to Lokchimlag in the Komi region, where he soon died.

During the persecution of the Church by the godless authorities, he sheltered the Athonite hieromonk Hilarion (Gromov) in his house and provided him with financial assistance. – The investigation has evidence that you spread provocative rumors among believers about the alleged persecution of religion in the USSR. Do you confirm this? “I don’t deny that I could talk about the existing persecution of religion, but I didn’t spread provocative rumors among believers,” answered Nikolai Alexandrovich. “The investigation has evidence that a secret worship service was held in the apartment of you and parishioners you knew. Do you confirm this? “Neither I nor those close to Priest Hilarion had a secret service. I do not deny that services were held in the apartment of me and my friends, but this was associated with the performance of a number of religious rituals (funerals, holiday prayers, etc.). – Your beliefs and views on Soviet power. – I consider the Soviet government to be a legitimate government, but it does not take into account the worldview of believers, it fights against religion and the Church as counter-revolutionary organizations...

What is Nadezhda’s name day? Nadezhda Abbakumova (March 14)

According to the church calendar, Nadezhda celebrates her angel day 4 times a year: March 14, March 20, September 30, October 21. The patron saints of the name are four martyrs who lived at different times and whom the church remembers precisely on these days.

In March, on the 14th, a woman named after Nadezhda Abbakumova celebrates her name day. She was a simple peasant woman who faced severe trials. But the woman did not lose faith in God, but carried it throughout her life, accepting martyrdom at the end of her earthly journey.

Nadezhda Abbakumova was born into a peasant family in one of the villages of the Moscow province in 1880. At the age of 19 she got married and gave birth to four children. During the revolution, Nadezhda was widowed. She had to raise her children alone. At the same time, persecution of the church began, but Nadezhda Abbakumova remained a true Christian. In 1928 she was elected churchwarden, collecting money and food for the priest and paying taxes.

Nadezhda Abbakumova was arrested on March 2, 1938, because, according to investigators, she was conducting anti-Soviet propaganda, and on March 14 she was shot. It is on this day that Nadezhda’s name day is celebrated according to the church calendar. And in 2000, the woman was canonized among the Russian new martyrs.
