Adelgeim, who turned 75 on August 1, became a priest during the Soviet era. In 1969 he was arrested for circulating self-published religious literature and in 1970 sentenced to three years in the labor camps for “slander of the Soviet order.” Adelgeim lost his right leg in 1971 due to unrest in a labor facility and was released with a disability in 1972. Adelgeim became cleric of the Pskov Diocese.
Father Pavel harshly criticized the state of the Russian Orthodox Church and its leaders in recent years.
