Presbyter
Saint Eugeniy, born on December 1, 1891, in the village of Betino, Ryazan Province, received his spiritual education at the Kasimov School and the Ryazan Seminary, which he graduated from in 1912. From 1914, he served as a parish clerk, but with the onset of World War I, he joined the ranks of defenders of the Fatherland, participating in the White Army of Admiral Kolchak. After completing his military service, he decided to return to pastoral ministry, beginning a humble prayer for peace in the souls of people.
In 1929 and 1932, he was arrested but continued to serve in the Kazan Church. On September 21, 1937, he was arrested on charges of 'active participation in a counter-revolutionary organization,' but he did not admit his guilt. On December 6, 1937, Priest Eugeniy Kharkov was sentenced to execution.
