Found in Kholmogory remains, presumably, the emperor John VI, should be carefully studied, although many facts about the authenticity. If there is a thorough study of the life of John, some priests do not exclude that it could be canonized.

The most interesting seemed to me to hear the authoritative opinion of the church on this issue. Here is an article by Elena Bazhin.

Moscow, September 13, Blagovest-info. In with. Kholmogory Arkhangelsk region contained the remains of Emperor John VI, who lived in captivity and killed at the age of 24 years. Research activities in the press center of the Interfax agency said the head of the search team Anatoly Karanin. John VI - son of Anna Leopoldovna (Anna Ivanovna's niece) and Prince Anton Ulrich of Brunswick-Bevern-Lüneburg, born in 1740, was proclaimed Emperor two month of age under the regency of the Duke of Courland Biron, according to the will of the Empress Anna Ivanovna.

According to Anatoly Karanina, in 2008 the wall of the Assumption Church in Kholmogory was found a coffin. It was assumed initially that the burial was found Generalissimo Anton Ulrich of Brunswick, the father of the emperor. However, upon opening the tomb was found the body of a young man. Further investigation showed that: the coffin, which was buried a young man, was made of pine, which grows in Karelia, namely the Karelian woods used in construction in St. Petersburg. According to the results of the examination, a man was killed by a sword in the chest by the nature of the holes was set type of sword. In the Russian Centre for Forensic Medicine and Forensic explored other signs that indicate that the remains belong to the Emperor John VI. In particular, the analysis of bones showed that the prisoner lived in extreme conditions of detention, on the skull were found traces of blow to John stiletto back in 6 months of age - when was the first attempt to kill him. The probability that the remains belong to the emperor John Antonovich, very high, said Mr. Karanin. Now, says the speaker, there is a need for genetic examination.
And considering that man was brought to Kholmogory out of St. Petersburg, the coincidence of growth, age, and the fact that many of the symptoms coincide with symptoms of the father and mother, and the fact that buried in the carefully guarded secret Kholmogory Commission and At the press conference were presented slides depicting the remains, as well as the alleged portrait of John Antonovich, made Archangel artist on the computer reconstructed image.

Vsevolod. It was a religious man, he knew by heart the texts of Scripture, was going to become a monk, as evidenced by the people guarding him. The fate of John Antonovich, thinks about. It is also possible that these events will serve as impetus for the opening of the archaeological museum in the open in Kholmogory, said V. Stanulevich.

If there is a thorough study of the life of John Antonovich, it becomes possible to initiate the process of canonization, said Fr. Nikon. http://mussska.livejournal.com/149715.html
