Potapy Emelianov (c. 1889, Ufa Governorate, Russian Empire – 14 August 1936, Nadvoitsy, Segezhsky District, Karelian ASSR, USSR) was a monastic priest, or Hieromonk, from the Old Ritualist tradition within Russian Orthodoxy who entered the Russian Greek Catholic Church and communion with the Holy See along with his entire parish in 1918.
Since 2003, Potapy, who died following almost a decade of forced labor in the Gulag, has been under investigation for possible sainthood as one of what Fr. Christopher Zugger has termed, "The Passion bearers of the Russian Catholic Exarchate".[1] Potapy's current title is Servant of God.
