details of death
Before completing studies in the seminary in Żytomierz, during a visit to his family in Galicia — then part of the Austro–Hungarian monarchy — while applying for another passport and permission to return to Russia, detained for several days by the Austrians. After release, illegally got across the border to the Bolshevik Russia and Zhytomir.
In the years of 1911‐1912, after completing his studies and returning to Galicia, arrested several times and fined for „illegal” Orthodox pastoral activities, according to Austrian authorities (held from 16.01.1912 for seven weeks in Jasło, among others).
Arrested by the Austrians on 28.03.1912 again, together with Fr Ignatius Hudyma.
Detained in Lviv and charged with spying for Moscow, „illegally holding religious services and preaching, and illegally traveling to Russia”, and making public statements about the Catholic religion in an offensive manner.
On 09.03.1914 tried in Lviv (so‐called „the trial of Bendasyuk and companions”)) but on 06.06.1914 declared innocent (by Polish jury).
After the outbreak in 07.1914 of the World War I arrested on 04.08.1914 again, together with his family, including pregnant wife.
Jailed in Gorlice prison.
After a month executed in prison — without a court trial — by the Austrians.
