details of death

During World War I after Russian defeat by German and Austro–Hungarian troops at battle of Gorlice in 05.1915 left Belarus — together with the nuns on Berezvech monastery and virtually all Orthodox clergy and millions of Russian officials, teachers, military personnel, etc., i.e. members of the Russian administration in Russian–occupied Poland — and went east (during a mass exodus known as bezhenstvo).

After the overthrow of tsarism in 02.1917 and after the Bolshevik coup in 11.1917, a civil war began in Russia, which lasted — together with the wars waged by the Bolsheviks with its neighbors — for almost three years. During this time, in Cherkasy, located on the right bank of the Dnieper river, power changed hands between various political and military groups seeking power in Russia or its parts, perhaps 18 times.

Murdered — hanged on the gate of his house — in 1918.

The sources do not attribute responsibility to any specific group. In 1918, power in Cherkasy was first taken over on 28.01.1918 — from the Ukrainian People's Republic UPR, established in 1917 and declared independent on 22.01.1918 — by the Bolsheviks (the so‐called Moscow Revolutionary Squad under the command of General Muravyov). They also occupied Kiev, where massacred several thousand people, including: Orthodox Metropolitan of Kiev and Halych, Vladimir. But already on 22.03.1918, the Ukrainians and the URL returned, supported by German and Austro–Hungarian troops (their participation resulted, first of all, from the first Treaty of Brest–Litovsk of 09.02.1918, in which the partitioning countries recognized the URL, granting it among others, the Chełm region, and in a secret protocol committing to establish a separate province of Eastern Galicia within the Austro–Hungarian Empire, all without the participation or consultation with the Poles; and secondly, from the second Treaty of Brest–Litovsk of 03.03.1918, when Germany and Austria–Hungary concluded separatist peace truce with Bolshevik Russia). In the summer, fighting broke out near Cherkasy between the German contingent and Bolshevik partisans (c. 6,000 of them camped in the surrounding forests). In the fall, the URL returned to full power in Cherkasy — this resulted from the defeat of Germany in World War I — to hand it over to the Bolsheviks on 25.01.1919.

The exact date of his death and, therefore, the responsibility of the perpetrators is unknown.

alt. details of death

According to some sources, on 19.05.1919 sentenced by the criminal Bolshevik CheKa organization to imprisonment in a concentration camp until the „end of the civil war”.
