In the Russian city of Volodymyr, as part of the Russian National Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Political Repressions, a memorial board honoring Archimandrite Klymentiy Casimir Sheptytsky (1869-1951) of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church was opened.
A correspondent of Unian.net learned from the Ukrainian Embassy in Moscow that the board was installed at the cemetery of Prince Volodymyr where a meeting was held on October 30 to honor the memory of victims of political repressions.
In 1947, the outstanding Ukrainian Church and public figure, the brother of Metropolitain Andrey Sheptytsky of the UGCC, Archimandrite Klymentiy Sheptytsky of the UGCC was arrested by NKVD and imprisoned in the Volodymyrivska Prison, where he died on May 1, 1951.
In 2001, Pope John Paul II beatified Archimandrite Klymentiy Sheptytsky.
