From 1922 to 1923, Patriarch Tikhon was imprisoned in [[Donskoy Monastery]]. Upon being released, he assured the regime of his loyalty, in an apparent attempt to relieve the harsh pressures on the [[Church]]. Despite his declaration of loyalty, he continued to enjoy the trust of the Orthodox community in Russia. When he died, he was considered a martyr for the faith.
In 1989, Patriarch Tikhon was [[Glorification|glorified ]] by the [[Church of Russia]]. This canonization process is generally considered an example of the thaw in [[Church of Russia|Church]]-Soviet relations in the Glasnost era.
