Righteous Benjamin Kargopolsky

The identity of "Righteous Benjamin of Kargopol" could not be confirmed by any independent source as a distinct canonized saint; likely an erroneous entry arising because Hieromartyr Benjamin (Kazansky), Metropolitan of Petrograd, was born in Kargopol district, but he is canonically venerated as "of Petrograd," not "of Kargopol."

The card "Benjamin of Kargopol" is not confirmed by any authoritative source (azbyka.ru, pravenc.ru, drevo-info.ru) as a distinct canonized saint. The only related figure found is Hieromartyr Benjamin (born Vasily Pavlovich Kazansky, 1873-1922), Metropolitan of Petrograd and Gdov, shot by the Bolsheviks and glorified among the saints in 1992 — he was born in the Nimensky погост of Kargopol district, Olonets Governorate, but is canonically venerated under the name "of Petrograd," not "of Kargopol," since his episcopal ministry and martyrdom are connected to Petrograd. Given the lack of confirmation of a distinct identity under the name "of Kargopol," the card is hidden from the calendar pending clarification.
