Presbyter
Saint Victor (Victor Ivanovich Voronov) was born on March 10, 1889, in the town of Vyshny Volochyok, Tver Province. In 1923, he was ordained to the priesthood. In the late 1920s, he was arrested and sentenced to five years of imprisonment for tax evasion, but the sentence was overturned due to his poverty. In 1930, he began serving in the church of the village of Zaborovye, where he lived with his wife and sons. In 1936, he was arrested for keeping records of the births and deaths of parishioners. On November 15, 1937, he was arrested again and imprisoned in the Vyshny Volochyok prison. During the investigation, he denied all charges, including anti-Soviet agitation. On November 27, the NKVD Troika sentenced him to execution, and he was shot on November 29, 1937.
