Biography
Popov Methodius Grigoryevich [1] was born in 1876 in the village of Bolshoy Surmet of the Buguruslan district of the Samara province into a prosperous peasant family who believes in God. His father was the trustee of a church under construction in the village in the name of the holy disinterested Kosma and Damian. The family had five children, four of them subsequently became monks.
In 1900, Methodius married the peasant Elena Timofeevna Polyakova, and they had six children: the first child was born in 1902, the last in 1916. In 1922 he was widowed (his wife died of typhus).
In 1926, in the Vladimir Kamensky Monastery, the managing director of the Ufa diocese, Bishop John Davlekanovsky (Poyarkov) was tonsured a monk with the name Maxim and ordained him to the rank of hieromonk .
Since 1926 he served in the church of the Sergievsky Convent of the Belebeyevsky Uyezd in the Ufa Province (now the Belebeyevsky District of Bashkiria).
In the winter of 1927-1928, the monastery was closed. It organized a colony for the homeless. However, for service in the temple, Father Maxim and 12 nuns were allowed to stay.
In 1929 the temple was closed. Since 1930, father Maxim served in the Ilyinsky church in with. Ryabash Priyutovskogo (now Ermekeevskogo) district, Belarus. In the village he did not have his own dwelling and lived with believing parishioners.
He was arrested on September 17, 1931 in the city of Belebey, where about. Maxim came to pray at the celebration of the Tabyn Icon of the Mother of God. The reason for the arrest is the statement of the correspondent of the Zlatoust newspaper Proletarskaya Mysl, who showed “revolutionary vigilance”: when he saw the priest and the nun in the market of Belebey, the correspondent suspected Fr. Maxim in campaigning among the peasants and reported this to the police.
After the arrest of Fr. Maxim was sentenced to five years in exile. He spent a year in the prison of Belebey , then 3 years in the camp of the village of Navoloki of the Kholmogorsky district of the Arkhangelsk region. He died in 1934 in a camp from pneumonia. Before his death, a resident of the village of Navoloki Maslov looked after him, and he buried him.
In 1989 he was rehabilitated by the Prosecutor's Office of the Bashkir Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic
