Nikolaj Savčenko
Nikolaj Savčenko is a Russian Orthodox priest known for his outspoken stance on peace and opposition to the war in Ukraine. He gained media attention after being sentenced to 14 days in prison for a photograph from 2014 in which he participated in an anti-war protest holding a Ukrainian flag. This act, which he described in a social media post as a biblical reference to not fighting against one's brothers, has made him a symbol of dissent within the Russian Orthodox Church, which generally supports the war effort. His case is notable as it marks the first instance of a serving priest being detained for such actions without being banned from church duties.
