Yevgeny Rodionov, Christian Martyr

Re: Russia Mulls Sainthood for Soldier Killed in Chechnya

The story provides a link to his website, in Russian: http://www.rodionoff.ru/.

Here are some images, from From Village Boy to Soldier, Martyr and, Many Say, Saint:


    Lyubov Rodionov holding two
    portraits of her son Yevgeny - a
    primary school photograph and
    an unauthorized icon. Mrs.
    Rodionov says Muslim rebels
    killed him because he refused
    to renounce his religion.
