On Wednesday, February 16, 2022, in the Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord in Lesnoy, the funeral service was held for the founder and permanent editor of the Monarchist newspaper, holder of the Imperial Order of St. Anne of the II and III degrees, Mikhail Nikolayevich Kulybin, who died on February 12 year of life. The cause of death was COVID 19.
The funeral service was performed by the rector of the church, Archpriest Mikhail Gruzdev, in concelebration with Priest Igor Ivanov.
His relatives, friends, representatives of the St. Petersburg public, associates of the Russian Imperial Union-Order came to say goodbye to Mikhail Nikolayevich. Of particular note is the large representation of the St. Petersburg journalistic community, since the newly deceased was widely known and respected in journalistic circles and was repeatedly awarded high professional awards.
After the funeral, the coffin with the body of Mikhail Kulybin was transported to the village of Strugi-Belye (the Soviet-occupation name of Strugi Krasnye) of the Pskov region, where he was interred in the family plot of the local cemetery. Mikhail Nikolaevich rested next to his parents Nikolai Nikolaevich and Tatyana Ivanovna Kulybin. Although the Kulybin family does not come from these places, but for many decades they have owned a dacha there and Struga-Beliye have become their second home. A year ago, the younger sister of Mikhail Nikolaevich, Nadezhna Nikolaevna, moved to Strugi from St. Petersburg for permanent residence.
The editors of the news agency "Legitimist" expresses condolences to the widow of Mikhail Nikolaevich Kulybin Maria Anatolyevna and his sister Nadezhda Nikolaevna, as well as to all relatives and friends.
In blissful sleep, grant eternal rest, O Lord, to Thy servant, the newly-departed Michael, and create for him eternal memory!
