Yuliya Sysoeva: “My Husband had a Premonition of His Death”

Yuliya Mikhailovna Sysoeva, the widow of Fr Daniil Sysoev (1974-2009)

According to the widow of Fr Daniil Sysoev, he knew about the impending attempt on his life. Fr Daniil had prepared himself for death at any moment. He constantly received death threats at his home. “He received threats by both phone and e-mail, ‘Sysoev, we’ll kill you!’”, his now-widowed wife Yuliya Mikhailovna said, with tears in her eyes. “I knew about this”.

On that fateful evening, Yuliya Mikhailovna was waiting for her husband to come to dinner and she had laid the table. 40 minutes before the shooting, she phoned him on his mobile. “He said that he’d come soon, told me to wait and not to worry, but, after a while, I decided to phone again, but, only heard beeps”, his wife recalled. “Then, the investigators phoned me and said what had happened was something terrible”.

When he was alive, in spite of everything, Fr Daniil always preached Christianity. “I do not know with whom he talked. He talked with so very many people. I don’t know whether they threatened him in person or not”, Yuliya said. “He met so many people and he had debates with the leaders of extremist groups. However, many of his efforts bore fruit. Why, he even baptised a fellow who had been a terrorist”.

After the assassination of Fr Daniil, his three daughters were left orphaned. “14-year-old Iustina and 9-year-old Dorofei cry, they know that they lost their father. But, little Angelina, she’s only two, she doesn’t understand what happened”, Yuliya said. “I feared the worst, both he and I did… we both knew that it would happen sooner or later, he would be killed. However, he could not leave his mission. He went to a martyr’s death; he suffered for Christ. It is an altogether brazen thing… to kill a priest in church, right at the altar. Well, was he supposed to hide out and wear a helmet and flak jacket?!”

Fr Daniil left many unfinished manuscripts and papers at the time of his death, but, so far, the detectives are keeping them confidential whilst they look over them.
