catholicmartyrs - Camilla Krushelnitskaya

Camilla Nikolayevna Krushelnitskaya was born in 1892 in Baranovichi. She was graduated from the secondary school and studied at the university in Moscow. While she lived in Moskow, she was in contact with the prioress of the community of Dominican tertiaries, mother Catherine Abrikosova. In the beginning of 1930, during the period of religious persecution, a group of young people met at Krushelnitskaya's apartment, in order to discuss about religious topics. Camilla Nikolayevna was arrested in 1933 and subsequently sentenced to prison camp for 10 years. She was sent to the camp at Solovki. In the camp she displayed fortitude of her faith and married a man whom she hoped to convert, but he turned to be a traitor. In 1937 Krushelnitskaya was transferred from Solovki, and on 27th October1937, she has been shot in the natural boundary Sandormokh under Medvezhegorsk in Karelia.

Camilla Krushelnitskaya received evidence that she was suffering for the faith. While she was in the prison camp she tried to keep in touch with the Catholic priests, reserved strength of faith and tried to witness about the faith before the people. Under inhuman conditions of the camp she kept her human feelings and love for her neighbor.
