Viktor Sokolov}} Victor Sokolov () (February 21, 1947 – March 12, 2006) was a Russian-American former dissident Soviet journalist and an Eastern Orthodox priest.He wrote articles critical of the Soviet government that were clandestinely distributed throughout the Soviet Union and abroad.
After moving to the United States in 1975, he was stripped of his Soviet citizenship by an ''ukase'' of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet on September 7, 1976, for "activities discrediting the rank of a Soviet citizen", becoming only the fifth person around that time to be so penalized, among them Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1984. Provided by Wikipedia
