INT Trukhanov 01 ENPUB
Mikhail Vasilyevich Trukhanov was born in 1916 in the Saratov region in the family of an orthodox priest. In jung years he was mainly educated at home since his family had to move constantly from place to place to avoid hunger and persecution. In 1941, at half past midnight, he was arrested in a student dormitory and brought before the NKVD. He was sentenced to 8 years in labor camps on the charge of "agitation, organization and leadership of an illegal group of churchmen".
In 1951 he was sent to permanent exile in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and after Stalin's death in 1953 he was newly arrested for "anti-Soviet activities" and sent into another labor camp near Omsk.
Only in 1956 he was rehabilitated and was able to follow his career as orthodox priest. He died in March 16, 2006 and was buried in Moscow at the Vagankovo cemetery.
