Philip II, Metropolitan of Moscow
Saint Philip II of Moscow (Russian: Филипп II; born Fyodor Stepanovich Kolychov; Russian: Фёдор Степанович Колычёв; 11 February 1507 – 23 December 1569) was Metropolitan of Moscow and all Rus', the primate of the Russian Orthodox Church, from 1566 to 1568. He was the thirteenth metropolitan of Moscow to be appointed without the approval of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople as had been the norm. He was one of a few metropolitans who dared to openly contradict Ivan the Terrible. It is widely believed that the tsar had him murdered on that account. Read more on Wikipedia
