Father Porfiriy Mikhailovich Kolosovskiy was born in 1868 in the village of Dolgoye Pole, Nizhny Novgorod Province. He served in the village of Vargany, Lyskovo District, Nizhny Novgorod Region. On September 17, 1937, he was arrested based on false testimonies from a previously arrested priest, who, broken by imprisonment and torture, signed all the statements prepared by the investigator. Father Porfiriy did not agree with the charges brought against him, and the investigators were unable to prove his guilt. The priest remained courageous. On November 11, 1937, he was sentenced to death and executed.
