Ioannikii Kutirev

Ioannikii Kutirev was a Russian hieroschemamonk of St Panteleimon Monastery, born in 1875 at Gus-⁠Khrustalny, Vladimir province. He died suddenly, of a heart rupture, on 11 September 1937. He is venerated by the faithful, without a synodal canonization.

Named Ivan Grigorievich in the world, he was received at St Panteleimon on 3 September 1902 and put to the monastery's printing house, where he worked until it stopped in 1920, from simple printer's helper to head of the printing house. He allowed himself no liberty in taking decisions without a blessing. In 1929, during his stay in Serbia, he wrote to the abbot Misail letters with detailed descriptions of what was happening there.
