RISU, 5 April 2022

 

One of the victims of the murders in Bucha in Ukraine was the dean of the Kiev Slavic Evangelical Seminary, Vitaly Vinogradov. His death was reported by the seminary on Facebook.

 

Vitaly Vinogradov graduated from the Evangelical Ecclesiastical Seminary and the Kiev Bible Institute. Then he became the dean of the Kiev Slavic Evangelical Theological Seminary and was responsible for the management of the seminary, the "All-Ukrainian Sobor" writes, citing CNE News.

 

A month before this, Vitaly had been put on the wanted list. According to available information, on 5 March he left his home with a friend to go to Kiev. But contact with him was lost. Friends and relatives raised an alarm and searched by all possible means.

 

They were found a month later, dead.

 

Hundreds of bodies were found last Saturday, after Russian troops left Bucha. Some people were buried in makeshift graves; some were left lying on the streets and in yards. A total of about 410 dead were discovered. (tr. by PDS, posted 5 April 2022)
