Paul Nikolaev Dong

Paul Nikolaev Dong was a man aged 48, a bannerman. He was killed on 20 June 1900 (old style; 3 July in the new), during the Boxer Rising, in the Zhuangwang grounds in Xicheng, in the western part of the city. The same list also names members of his family: wife Eugenia Mihailovna; son Stephen; daughters Juliana and Lucia.

The bannermen were the men enrolled in the banners, the military and administrative divisions of the Qing dynasty. His name appears in the list of the 222 Orthodox Christians killed in the Boxer Rising, published in 1904 by the Brotherhood of the Orthodox Church in China.

In 1902 the Holy Synod of the Russian Church allowed the local veneration of the Chinese martyrs, and in 2016 its Council of Bishops blessed their veneration throughout the Russian Church. They are commemorated together on 11 June (old style).
