description: "Yevgeny Aleksandrovich Rodionov was a Russian soldier who was taken prisoner of war by Chechen rebels in the First Chechen War and later executed in captivity. He has gained much admiration throughout Russia for the circumstances of his death, as his execution allegedly resulted from his refusal to remove his cross necklace, convert to Islam and defect to the enemy side. Despite widespread popular veneration, he has not been glorified by the Russian Orthodox Church as a New Martyr due to lack of evidence about his death. Still, icons depicting him are installed in many churches across Russia, in St. Valery church in Chișinău, in the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George in Frankfurt in Germany, and in St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Tacoma, Washington, United States."
