Presbyter
Vladimir Ionovich Tsedrinskiy was born in Nizhny Novgorod province. His service to the Church began in the Omsk diocese, and in 1909, he was transferred to the Turkestan diocese as a priest, where he was appointed as the district observer of church-parish schools of the 2nd district, with the duties of a missionary. Later, he served in the cathedral of St. Nicholas in the city of Lepsinsk, and from July 6, 1912, he was its rector. He was also the archpriest of the churches of the Lepsinsk district.
Based on a report from Father Vladimir, in which he informed about the decision of the peasant union of the Lepsinsk district to seize land from church parishes, the archbishop issued a call to all truly Orthodox Christians to care for the Church.
On one of the Sundays of the Dormition Fast in 1918, Father Vladimir addressed his flock with a sermon, urging them to stop the fratricidal turmoil. On August 27, after the liturgy, he was arrested by Red Army soldiers and killed before the eyes of the parishioners. The body of the priest was taken to the church, where it was buried by priests from neighboring villages. Protopriest Vladimir was buried in the cemetery of Lepsinsk, near the place of his martyr's death.
Until the early 1930s, panikhidas were served at his grave. On July 2, 2001, the relics of the holy martyr were found, now resting in the John the Theologian Church in the city of Taldykorgan. Holy Martyr Vladimir was glorified by the Archdiocesan Jubilee Council of the Russian Orthodox Church in 2000.
