I hate to be a killjoy, but an Orthodox priest as a member of Soviet Partisans is highly unlikely. Official Soviet policy was distinctly anti religion, and many of these partisan units had Moscow supplied Commissars. |

It's your partisans, do what you want. While the Soviets were anti-religon, during WWII they even allowed the Orthodox church to pay for tanks. If an Orthodox priest was in an area captured by the Germans, they would have to do something, so why not join a partisan band. I don't think I would have more than one in my collection but still, I think it's okay, but uncommon, even unusual. link This article says many priests were part of the underground. link Mike Bunkermeister Creek

Thanks for those resources Bunker, this was my understanding as well. Soviet relaxed their position on the church during the war and some priests were involved in resistnace. |
