Hieromartyr Nicholas Sushchevsky was born in 1881. Very little is known of his life. He was an archpriest serving at the church of the village of Georgievka in the Pishpek district of the Semirechye region (Pishpek is today's Bishkek), then part of the Turkestan diocese. In 1923 he was shot by the godless authorities near the town of Taldy-Kurgan.
He was glorified among the hieromartyrs at the Jubilee Council of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church in 2000. He is commemorated on 3 September (16 September New Style) together with Hieromartyr Pimen, Bishop of Verny, and other new martyrs of Semirechye, as well as in the Synaxis of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church and in the Synaxis of the Saints of the Central Asian Metropolitan District (8 September).
