Basil Voskresensky

Holy Hieromartyr Basil Voskresensky was a deacon at the church of the Transfiguration in the town of Solikamsk, Perm province, and was shot by Red Army soldiers on 7 October 1918.

His death came at the time of the mass repressions in the Perm region. The sources we draw on give no further details of his life; it is known only that he served as deacon in the town church and that those who killed him were soldiers of the Red Army.

He was numbered among the saints by the Jubilee Council of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church in 2000. The saint is commemorated on 7 October and, in the new style, on 7 February (movable) in the Synaxis of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church and on 14 February (movable) in the Synaxis of the Saints of the Perm Metropolis.
