:::::Who is Nikolai Rasputin?? Are you talking about [[Gregory Efimovich Rasputin]]! He certainly is NOT a saint! [[User:Wsk|Wsk]] 13:20, July 28, 2009 (UTC)
::::::Whoops. Right, I mean Grigory. Well, YOU feel sure that he was "certainly" not a saint, but other Orthodox people claim that he is. Who's to decide?[[User:Zla'od|Zla'od]] 03:29, July 29, 2009 (UTC)
::::If he was Orthodox, and if he died in battle against the Turks, then "Great-Martyr" would be appropriate, no? But I admit that all this is far from my area of knowledge.[[User:Zla'od|Zla'od]] 01:47, July 28, 2009 (UTC)

::::A person who happens to be Orthodox, killed in battle by a person who happens to be non-Orthodox, is not automatically a Great-Martyr (or, afaik, any other kind of martyr). He wasn't killed for his religion, and certainly not tortured. An example of a Great-Martyr would be St George, who was a soldier, yes; but he was tortured and killed for being a Christian by his own government. — by [[User:Pistevo|<font color="green">Pιs</font><font color="gold">τévο</font>]] <sup>''[[User talk:Pistevo|<font color="blue">talk</font>]]'' ''[[User talk:Pistevo/dev/null|<font color="red">complaints</font>]]''</sup> at 12:33, July 28, 2009 (UTC)
::::Well, he was "killed for his religion" in the sense that he died while fighting a war to protect it. But I was unsure of the terminology myself.
::::What about all those churches and monasteries he founded? Could we call him a patron of Orthodoxy, along the lines of Constantine? [[User:Zla'od|Zla'od]] 03:29, July 29, 2009 (UTC)
