Konstantin Budkevich, also known as Konstanty Romuald Budkiewicz; June 19, 1867, – March 31, 1923) was a Catholic priest executed by the OGPU for organizing nonviolent resistance against the first Soviet anti-religious campaign. His beatification process has been opened, thus giving him the title Servant of God.
