Mstislava (Fokina), monk martyr

The Monk Martyr Mstislava was born in 1895 in the village of Maloye Uvarovo, Kolomna Uyezd, Moscow Province, into the family of Semyon Fokin, a worker from the Kolomna plant, and was baptized Maria. In the village of Maloye Uvarovo, Semyon had a land allotment, but since he himself was not involved in the peasantry, he rented this allotment. Maria graduated from a rural school and since 1908 worked at a silk-spinning factory in Kolomna
