Dissident Russian priest dies

Gleb Yakunin denounced the persecution of believers and spent several years in prison in the 1980s for speaking out against the Soviet state.

He also accused top Church officials of been in collaboration with the KGB in Russia.

When he stood for the post-Soviet Russian parliament he was defrocked but was also elected and served two years.

He was excommunicated in the late 90s for reasons still unknown.

He's survived by his wife and three children.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
