Alexander

Alexander was a man of 33, the son of Gordian Xiu and a descendant of the Albazinians. He was killed on 10 June 1900 (old style; 23 June in the new), during the Boxer Rising, near the Dongzhimen gate of Beijing.

The Albazinians are the descendants of the Russian prisoners from Albazin, brought to Beijing in 1685, with whom the Orthodox community in China began. His name stands in the list of the 222 Orthodox Christians killed in 1900, drawn up in 1904 by the Brotherhood of the Orthodox Church in China.
