In trying to live an exemplary, Christian and uncompromising way of life, he distinguished himself by the difficult endeavor to be insane in the love of Christ, an attitude considered risky, given that he lived in the 1930s, a period in which which Soviet cruelty was unmatched1. At the same time, he kept his faith and was crowned with a martyr's death in 1937.
