About Barlaam Shyshatsky
- Monk Barlaam (Russian: ????? ???????; secular name Gregory Stepanovich Shyshatsky, 12 March 1750, village Krasilovka, Kozeletskyy uezd, Chernigov province - 23 July 1820, Novgorod-Seversky) was a defrocked Archbishop of Mogilev and Vitebsk of the Russian Orthodox Church. During the French invasion of Russia he was accused of taking a loyalty oath to Napoleon, forcing junior clergymen to do the same, celebrating Napoleon's birthday and saying prayers for Napoleon instead of the tsar's family.
- After a long trial by the Most Holy Synod, Varlaam was found guilty, stripped of the rank and confined to a monastery.
