Ilya Isidorovich Fondaminsky (Russian: Илья Исидорович Фондаминский; February 17, 1880,[1] Moscow, Russia — November 19, 1942, Auschwitz, Nazi-occupied Poland), was a Russian author (writing under the pseudonym I. Bunakov) and political activist, in 1910s one of the leaders of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, in 1917 a senior member of the Alexander Kerensky's Provisional government.[2]

In 1918, Fondaminsky took part in the Jassy Conference. In Paris, where he has been living since 1919, Fondaminsky veered off from the left and became an influential newspaper editor (Sovremennye Zapisky, among others), author of philosophical essays and in the later years — much admired philanthropist, supporting Christian magazines and charity funds. In his biography of Mother Maria Skobtsova, Pearl of Great Price, Father Serge Hackel wrote that Fondaminsky gave occasional lectures at the Sunday afternoon gatherings at the house on the Rue de Lourmel.

Facing the Nazi occupation, Fondaminsky refused to leave Paris, saying he would accept his destiny whatever it would be. Arrested in July 1941 as a Jew and sent to the concentration camp, he adopted Christianity and was received into the Russian Orthodox Church not long before being sent to Auschwitz. Ilya Fondaminsky died there on November 19, 1942, aged 62.[3] In 2003, he was officially pronounced a Russian Orthodox saintly martyr by the Patriarch of Constantinople.[4][2]
