On November 5, on Military Intelligence Day, the head of the department for church charity and social service of the Simbirsk diocese, the rector of the church in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, Archpriest Pavel Putilkin, together with the cleric of the St. Nicholas Church, Priest Sergei Malyshev, performed a lithium during the opening ceremony of the monument on the territory of Ulyanovsk State University to the deceased during the SVO period to student Andrey Sarnavsky.

The rector of Ulyanovsk State University Boris Kostishko, Hero of Russia Oleg Lobunets, and member of the Northern Military District Nikita Komrakov spoke to those gathered to honor the warrior’s feat. Teacher Elena Kononenko spoke about what kind of student Andrei was. He was the first from Ulyanovsk to go to Mariupol as a volunteer, then became an intelligence commander, a serviceman of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. I passed state exams and defended my diploma between combat missions online, practically from the contact line.

At the end of the litiya, Father Pavel noted that it is necessary to remember the feat of the warrior Andrei Sarnavsky, and also to pray for him, as well as for all our defenders who fell on the battlefields.
