Saint Vasily was born in 1901 in the village of Protasyevo, Ranevsky district of Ryazan province. At the age of eight, he entered the Trinity Monastery, where he completed the church parish school and remained a novice until 1928. After the monastery was closed, he returned to his native village and served as a psalmist in the church.
In 1930, Vasily Ivanovich was ordained a priest and served in the Trinity Church in the village of Ostafyevo. On December 4, 1937, he was arrested. During the interrogation, he denied the accusations of anti-Soviet agitation. On December 7, the NKVD troika sentenced him to ten years of imprisonment in a labor camp. Priest Vasily Krymkin passed away in the camp in the Kuibyshev region on October 4, 1942.
