Sergey Pavlov was one of the three younger brothers of the academician Ivan Petrovich Pavlov. When Sergey was a child, a tragic incident happened to him, which might have influenced his choice of career. On the way back from the hunt, his brother Pyotr was mortally wounded by an accidentally fired gun. Despite it being just a coincidence, the 13-year-old Sergey felt responsible.
Sergey Pavlov was not diligent in his studies. His older brothers decided on a career early on: Ivan had a penchant for natural science, for Dmitry it was chemistry experiments, for Pyotr — hunting and zoology. Unlike them, Sergey found himself much later. He was dismissed from the Ryazan Theological Seminary and the Vifanya Theological Seminary. After failing to finish any courses, he lived with his father in the Pavlov estate.
When Sergey decided to get into the military, he volunteered for military service and retired with the rank of senior non-commissioned officer. At the age of 24, Sergey accepted the offer of his father’s friend, Archbishop Dionisy, to become a deacon in the Church of the Nativity in the village of Pechenkino, Ufa Governorate. Father Pyotr was very pleased with this decision since none of his other sons wanted to continue the family dynasty of clergymen.
Before accepting his title, Sergey married Anna Fyodorovna Pavlova. Their marriage ceremony was performed by Father Pyotr himself in the village of Delekhovo, where the bride was from, and upon returning to Ryazan, he arranged a wedding celebration in his house. There was no dowry for Anna Fyodorovna, but Pyotr Pavlov provided the young people with everything they needed to start an independent life and helped them financially throughout his life. After Pyotr Dmitriyevich’s death, Sergey replaced him as a priest at the Saint Lazarus Church in Ryazan. Sergey Petrovich also worked in the Staroyamsk Saint Nicholas Church and was loved and respected by his parish.
In 1919, Sergey Pavlov was suddenly arrested right in the middle of an evening tea at his home. Sergey ended up in a concentration camp in Moscow. After catching a cold while working in harsh conditions, he died of pneumonia in the winter of 1919. Sergey Pavlov was buried in the cemetery of the Donskoy Monastery. The son of Sergey Petrovich and Anna Fyodorovna, Yevgeny, worked as a doctor in the Petropavlovsk hospital in Petrograd and the 146th city infirmary. Yevgeny Sergeyevich emigrated to the United States, where the Pavlov descendants live to this day.
