Venerable Martyr
Ηegumen / Abbot

Saint martyr Pachomius (in the world Pavel Akimovich Turkevich) was born in 1864 in the settlement of Milanovichi, Kovel district, Volhynia province, in a blacksmith's family. He labored in the Zlatoostov Monastery until its closure in 1923. In the late twenties – early thirties, being of advanced age, he lived in Moscow with his spiritual children.

During the interrogation, the investigator asked Igumen Pachomius: “What is your attitude towards the Soviet power?” To which the saint replied: “I consider the Soviet power to be the power of the Antichrist, which has been sent by God to the people as a punishment.”
