Natalia Vasilyeva

Holy Martyr Natalia Vasilyeva is one of the eleven Christian women shot in Karlag on 11 January 1942, for confessing their faith and for refusing to work for a power they held to be that of the antichrist. The company consists of Natalia Sundukova, Natalia Siluyanova, Evdokia Nazina, Anna Borovskaya, Matrona Navolokina, Varvara Derevyagina, Anna Popova, Evdokia Guseva, Euphrosyne Denisova, Agrippina Kiseleva and Natalia Vasilyeva.

The page says nothing in particular about Natalia Vasilyeva, only what concerns the company: that some of them, like Natalia Sundukova, born in 1887 into a priest's family, had been exiled and sentenced earlier, that others came from peasant families, that they were charged with sabotage and with propaganda against the authorities by means of religious prejudice, and that at the interrogation, not admitting guilt, they said with one voice that they were believing Christians. They were shot on 11 January 1942, and the place of their burial is not known. Natalia is commemorated on 11 January, the day of her confession, in the new style, with the Synaxis of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church (a movable day).
