Description Yevgeny Rodionov (May 23, 1977 - May 23, 1996) was a Russian soldier who was taken prisoner and later executed in Chechen captivity for his refusal to convert to Islam and go over to the enemy side. The circumstances of his death have garnered him much admiration throughout Russia, and even prompted calls for his elevation to sainthood.

I have never heard of this saint before.

What miracles has he performed?

Evgeny Rodionov not yet canonized. His reverence is popular, without prior arrangement.
He is a local saint in Serbia.
In May 2011, it is included as a "new martyr Eugene Warrior" in military dirge recommended Orthodox chaplains United States Army to make remembrance of fallen soldiers at the feast of the Beheading of St. John the Baptist and Demetrius Saturday.

He is not a saint because he was a soldior, but because he became a martyr and did not reject God.

I believe that Eugene Rodionov and Lorenzo Ruiz are brothers in the eyes of God. Will God distinguish who Catholic, Orthodox who? He is the One God for us all.

Well, when you're sitting in the middle of a snowy Russia, it is difficult to imagine that somewhere there is a beautiful green Ireland ...

However, there is one of my text on Ireland. Just do not laugh, if the translation into English is not too good - [link]

Alas, these horrors are known to us. We have long been fighting a war with Islamic militants. Because of "tolerance" policy of our government, this war is very inconsistent ...

Well said, my friend.

My wife told me that in Germany, held a demonstration of nationalists, it was almost without incident. Great news! I congratulate the German nationalists with success! I'm happy for you, I am happy that the morale of the German people are not extinct.

interesting bro.

"Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father.
But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father." - Jesus (Matthew 10:32-33 & Luke 12:8-9)

Provided that he lived his whole life for the LORD also, we will have ourselves another good intercessor in heaven ^^

Ferrabra In reply to BronzeLion [2012-05-04 05:54:18 +0000 UTC]

Without a doubt, Eugene - this is one of our intercessor in heaven, intercessor for all Christians.
It is unlikely that Christ makes the difference between our different denominations. All of us - His children.

Millions of martyrs died for Christ, yet I don't hear people from other religion getting slaughtered solely because of their Faith.

At least we know we are serving the correct Master - Jesus. ^^

Ferrabra In reply to BronzeLion [2012-05-04 07:48:05 +0000 UTC]

I know the story of a Turkish officer (the Ottoman Empire), who was a persecutor and torturer of Christians. But the resistance of the Christians surprised him and forced to think about. He accepted Orthodoxy and took cruel torments for it. Barely alive, he was picked up by Christians, then moved to Russia and became a monk. I'll find his story and will post here.

Today I learned about the Filipino priest, who was killed on the island of Mindanao for preaching Christ. O God, take his soul! For me not care whether he was a Catholic or a Protestant. He is my brother.

The Slavs and Orthodox Christians have given the world many examples of heroism.
I think you will do right, if you will tell on dA about the Serbian heroes. We must not care about the opinion of the devilish and hypocritical "international community" and celebrate our heroes. To us, the Slavs, there is something to be proud.
