Patriarch Pimen I of Moscow
Patriarch Pimen I (Russian: Патриарх Пи́мен, born Sergey Mikhailovich Izvekov, Серге́й Миха́йлович Изве́ков; July 23 [O.S. July 10] 1910 – May 3, 1990), was the 14th Patriarch of Moscow and the primate of the Russian Orthodox Church from 1971 to 1990.
He was born to a pious family in 1910 in the village of Kobylino, Maloyaroslavetsky Uyezd, Kaluga Governorate (now Maloyaroslavetsky District, Kaluga Oblast). Soon the family moved to the Bogorodsk (now Noginsk, Moscow oblast).
On December 5, 1925, he tonsured a novice (similar to temporary vows) at Sretensky Monastery in Moscow. However, he stayed in this monastery for only about a month and left it due to the fact that the abbot of the monastery, Bishop Boris (Rukin), went into schism, retaining the monastery property for himself. On October 4, 1927, at the age of seventeen, he took eternal monastic vows with the name Pimen in honor of St. Poemen the Great in the Hermitage of the Holy Paraclete, a skete of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. On July 16, 1930, he was ordained a hierodeacon by Archbishop Philip (Gumilevsky) of Zvenigorod, who then ruled the Moscow Diocese; on January 12, 1931, he was ordained a hieromonk at the Epiphany Cathedral in Dorogomilov.
In the summer of 1940, he entered the literature department of the Andijan Evening Pedagogical Institute (now Andijan State University). On October 25, 1940, he was appointed a teacher of Andijan School No. 1. By the beginning of World War II, he graduated from the first year of the Institute. On August 10, 1941, he was drafted into the Red Army.
From September 1945 to February 1946, he was treated at the Moscow Regional Tuberculosis Institute for spinal tuberculosis; on March 20, 1946, Bishop Onesimus (Festinatov) of Vladimir and Suzdal appointed him full-time priest of the Annunciation Cathedral of the former Annunciation Monastery in Murom.
In August 1946, he moved to Odessa, becoming first the rector of the bishop's church, and then the treasurer of the St. Eliah Monastery. In Odessa, he was under the command and patronage of Bishop Sergius (Larin), with whom he moved to Rostov-on-Don in 1947. At the beginning of 1947, for several months, at the request of Bishop Hieronymus (Zakharov) of Ryazan, he obeyed the sacristan of the Boris and Gleb Cathedral in Ryazan but was forced to leave due to dissatisfaction with his activities of local authorities.
On December 2, 1947, by the decree of Bishop Sergius, Hegumen Pimen was appointed secretary of the Rostov diocesan Administration; on March 9, 1948, he was appointed clerk of the Rostov Cathedral of the Mother of God-Nativity.
On August 12, 1949, he was appointed namestnik (alderman) of the Pskov-Caves Monastery; on April 13, 1950, he was elevated to the rank of Archimandrite by Metropolitan Gregory (Chukov) of Leningrad. In 1954 he was transferred to a similar position in Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius.
