On 9 June 1946, he was arrested by the NKVD and sentenced to ten years imprisonment, as part of Joseph Stalin's suppression of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.[3] While in exile in Vorkuta m, he was recognized for his humaneness and humility as he took on unbearable conditions to make life easier for others. Alfonsas Svarinskas, a fellow priest and prisoner, recounts Lakota's behavior in camp as reflecting "Christian virtues."[2]
Lakota died at the Abez camp, near Vorkuta on 12 November 1950.
In popular media
Lakota and another Ukrainian Catholic Bishop, Josyf Slipyj, became the inspiration for the character of Kiril Pavlovich Lakota in the novel The Shoes of the Fisherman, which was later made into a film.
