Comment: It seems this person is notable enough, but a single source is far from enough, please add more substantial, secondary and indepenent source in order to firmly establish notability. More context would also be appreciated. NeoGaze (talk) 08:35, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
Anatoly Ivanovich Chistousov (August 27, 1953, Kirov, Kirov Region — February 14, 1996, Stary Achkhoy Village, Chechen Republic) was a priest of the Russian Orthodox Church in 1994-1996, the rector of the Mikhailo-Arkhangelsky Church in Grozny, and the dean of the Orthodox churches in the Chechen Republic in 1995-1996. He was also a reserve major in the Russian Armed Forces. On January 29, 1996, he was abducted by ichkerian militants and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp in Stary Achkhoi, where he was shot on February 14, 1996, under circumstances that were not fully clarified. Information about the death became known to the public only on April 26, 2000, when the FSS of Russia handed over to the Russian Orthodox Church the seized documents from the archive of the Department of State Security of the Chechen Republic confirming the death of the priest.[1]
During the First Chechen War, he continued to hold services in Grozny despite constant shelling and threats from the separatists. He also participated in negotiations with the militants to secure the release of russian prisoners of war.[2]
