New Hieromartyr John Maslovsky

John Maslovsky was an Orthodox priest who served in the Amur region of the Russian Far East and was killed in 1921, during the persecution of the Church that followed the Russian Revolution and Civil War. He is commemorated as a New Hieromartyr, a priest who suffered death for the faith in the modern era. His feast is kept on September 7.

Liturgical and reference calendars identify him with the village of Verkhne-Poltavka in the Amur region, where he served as parish priest. He is numbered among the Synaxis of New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia, the broad commemoration of clergy and faithful who died during the Soviet-era repression of the Church. Beyond these few fixed details, little biographical record of his life survives in the available sources.
