Martyr Ioann Petrovich Korotkov was born in 1885 in Yaroslavl province in a peasant family. In 1935, his family was burdened with a tax, which left them without means of subsistence. Ioann Petrovich worked at the Masalskaya hospital but was dismissed for preaching the Christian faith. He united believers by proclaiming fidelity to Christ. In 1937, he was arrested and sentenced to 10 years in corrective labor camps. On September 30, 1941, he perished in Kargopollag in the Arkhangelsk region due to a skull fracture.
