Life

Saint Hieromartyr Alexander Shklyaev was an archpriest and rector of the church of the Resurrection in Solikamsk (by other sources, a priest at the church of the Nativity of the Mother of God). He was shot by Red soldiers near Perm, during the mass repressions in the Perm region. He is commemorated on 23 December, on 7 February with the synaxis of the new martyrs, and on 14 February with the saints of the Perm metropolis. The source available to us gives no further details of his life.
