Life

Holy Hieromartyr Alexander Polivanovsky was a priest in the Ryazan eparchy and died a martyr on 10 January 1938. He was born on 15 August 1893.

The list of the Synaxis of the Saints of Ryazan, the only source consulted, places him among the priests killed in the persecution of 1938 and preserves no details of his parish or trial. He died on the same day as other clergy of the same eparchy, Arethas Saraevsky and Leonid Viktorov.
