A new chapel was recently consecrated at the site of a Soviet prison in Ukraine where newly-glorified New Martyrs served their sentences.
The former Elisavetgrad prison, in today’s Kropivnitsky in central Ukraine, saw the suffering of the holy New Martyrs Archpriest Platon Kupchevsky and Archpriest Nikolai Vinogradov. Today the building serves as the provincial pre-trial detention center.
