Father Alexander Men (1935-1990), a priest assassinated after the
fall of communism, is a highly regarded figure in Russian
Orthodoxy. He was brought up during the War and marked by the
Stalinist era. Following the completion of his theological studies
in Moscow, he was appointed to various parishes around the capital,
in particular Alabino and Novaia Derevnia. But his personality and
influence soon brought him into conflict with the authorities and
he was persistently hounded by the police and subjected to
interrogations and searches of his home. Father Men was not an
agitator but the embodiment of an ideal of spiritual resistance to
communism effected through prayer, the liturgical and sacramental
life, and the valuing of the human person
