On 23 September 1937 (10 September in the Old Style), during the Great Terror, a large group of clergy and lay people of the Syktyvkar (Komi) and Moscow dioceses were executed on the same day. Among them were the priests Palladius Popov (born 1879), John Popov (born in the early 1860s), Nicholas Pavlinov (born 1881) and Peter Yurkov (born 1880), the hieromonk Meletius Fedyunev (born 1871), the archimandrite Gabriel Yatsik (born 1880), Simeon Turkin (born 1870) and Tatiana Grimblit (born 1903). They were canonized between 2001 and 2004 among the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church.
