New Hieromartyrs Vladimir & Michael (1921)

Vladimir Sadovsky and Michael Sushkov were two Orthodox priests of the Semirechye region of Russian Turkestan (centered on the city of Verny, the modern Almaty in Kazakhstan) who were executed in 1921 during the Soviet persecution of the Russian Orthodox Church. They are commemorated together on September 3 and are numbered among the Synaxis of New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church.

Both men served in the parishes of the Turkestan diocese in the years surrounding the Revolution of 1917. They died in 1921, a year in which repression of the clergy intensified across Soviet Russia, and they were among the many priests put to death by sentence of revolutionary tribunals during this period. They were glorified by the Russian Orthodox Church at its Jubilee Bishops' Council of August 2000.

Surviving accounts of the two priests are brief, as is typical for the clergy of the New Martyrs whose records were reconstructed from civil and ecclesiastical archives. What is preserved concerns chiefly their service in the parishes of Semirechye and the circumstances of their condemnation and death.
