Saint John Fyodorov, hieromartyr, was a priest at the church of the Holy Archangel Michael in Krasnokutsk and was killed in 1941 by the Bolsheviks. He is venerated as a local saint of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. His commemoration is on 19 May (1 June).

From the beginning of the twentieth century until its closing, in 1934, he served at the church of the Holy Archangel Michael in the settlement of Krasnokutsk. He was killed and drowned in a latrine in 1941 by the Bolsheviks, the postmaster Shubin and an NKVD worker.
