Life
Matrona Vlasova was born in 1889 in the village of Puza in Nizhny Novgorod province and from the age of six was raised at the Diveyevo convent, where she became a nun. When the convent was closed in 1927, she moved to a nearby village.
She was arrested three times: in 1933 (three years in the Dmitrov camp), in 1937 (ten years in the Karaganda camps in Kazakhstan) and in 1949 (exile in Kazakhstan); in all she spent some seventeen years in camps and exile. In 1954 she returned to her native village, where she died on 7 November 1963. She was glorified in 2001, and since 2007 her relics have rested in Diveyevo.
