Беседа с А.Л. Гуревичем, составителем интернет-указателя "Религиозные деятели и писатели русской эмиграции"
Nicholas Zernov: "The First Council of The Russian Church Abroad in Sremski Karlovtsi (21 Nov.-2 Dec. 1921): The Notes of One of the Participants"
This is a translation of the article "Iursdiktsionnyie Spory v Russkoi Tserkvi Emigratsii i I-yi Vsezarubezhnyi Sobor v Karlovtsakh v 1921 godu" originally published in Vestnik Russkogo Khristianskogo Dvizheniia 114 (1974). We are republishing it from Eastern Churches Review 7.2 (1975). The English translation of the first part of this article was published in Eastern Churches Review 7.1 (1975).
Ответ протоиерей Георгия Граббе на вышеозначенную статью Зернова. Here is a response in Russian by Fr. George Grabbe.
The audio interview with Metropolitan Viatlii: "Our Objective Is not to Establish Parishes in Russia; We Just Want the Moscow Patriarchate to Turn Over a New Leaf." March 16, 1990. In this interview recorded in Russian for the Voice of America, Fr. Victor Potapov asks Metropolitan Vitalii questions submitted by Orthodox Christians from Russia. This interview has particular historical significance as it occurred shortly before Passion Week in 1990, when Metropolitan Vitalii decided to accept a parish in Suzdal into the ROCOR.
С.В. Троицкий, О правах епископов, лишившихся кафедр без своей вины: Каноническая норма Статья последнего канониста старой русской школы умершего в Югославии в 1972 г., пытается канонически обосновать статус русских епископов оказавшихся за границей. Опубликована в номерах: 14-15, 16-17, 18-19 Церковных Ведомостей за 1922 год.
Last November we posted an interview with Bishop Jerome of Manhattan on the subject of Archbishop Nikon. At the end of that interview we mentioned that the next time we would talk about the current problems of the Russian Church Abroad. Now, Vladyka Jerome has kindly agreed to answer our questions, and we are delighted to offer you this interview:
Bishop Jerome of Manhattan On Conciliarity Spirit in the ROCOR
Предлагаем Вашему вниманию интервью с петербургским протоиереем Георгием Митрофановым, автором сборника гражданской публицистики Трагедия России: «запретные» темы истории ХХ века. В своих статьях о. Георгий затрагивает самые чувствительные струны национальной и церковной самоидентификации, в частности отношения к тем русским людям, кто воевали на стороне нацистской Германии, к митрополиту Сергию (Страгородскому) и вопросу конформизма, к Б.Н. Ельцину. Книга была прочитана в России и вызвала ожесточенную полемику, сделав о. Георгия самым цитируемым в Интернете священником РПЦ. О. Георгий со всем своим дарованием и научной базой идеализировал то, чем жила коренная паства РПЦЗ. Заказать книгу можно по эл. адресу: rocorstudies@gmail.com Стоимость $25+$5.00 пересылка в США.
I have posted online an interview with Fr. George Mitrofanov from S-Petersburg. Fr. George’s recent controversial book The Tragedy of Russia: Taboo Themes of Twentieth Century History (2009) addresses such topics as non-conformists within the Russian Church before WWII and Russian collaborationists during WWII. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to translate this interview into English, but I hope that somebody else will make this exclusive interview accessible to those who don't speak Russian.
We are delighted to introduce to you Dr. Irina Papkova from the Department of International Relations and European Studies, Central European University in Budapest: We Should Focus on Strenghtening ROCOR Internally
ВОИСТИНУ ВОСКРЕСЕ ХРИСТОС!!! INDEED CHRIST IS RISEN!!!

The history of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia has plenty of insufficiently explored areas. Unique photos posted on the blog of Reader Michael, from the ROCOR's British Diocese, cast light on one such terra incognita: an experiment with the western liturgical rite. These photos show St. John of Shanghai celebrating the divine liturgy according to the Western Orthodox tradition and Bishop John of St. Denis (d.1972), whose ecclesiastic group was received into the Russian Church Abroad in 1960 by an initiative of St. John.
Another blog deals with the ROCOR's present-day Western rite issues: http://ad-orientem.blogspot.com/search/label/western%20rite
We are glad to announce that Michael Woerl has updated his Lives of Bishops with the biography of Bishop Mitrophan of Sumy. Michael’s biographies of ROCOR bishops are among the most frequently accessed items on this site. To our surprise his biographies of the Romanian bishops have been quite popular and the account on Bishop Victor-Vasile (Vasile Leu) has even been translated into Russian by one of Live Journal users.
November 8/21 is the first anniversary of this Web site blessed by His Eminence Metropolitan Hilarion. Since then we have published more than 30 articles and established the new page Lives of Bishops. Since January of 2009 this Web site has been visited more than ten thousand times from America and 54 different countries, and we have more than 200 subscribers. God willing there is more to follow!
Newly consecrated Bishop Irenee shares his reminiscences about the ROCOR and his hopes for the future of Orthodoxy in Northern America. He was tonsured a monk and ordained a priest within the Russian Church Abroad.
Reader Nikolaj Kostur is the son of Archpriest Fr. Lazar Kostur of the New Gracanica-Midwestern American Diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Nikolaj is a graduate of both Holy Trinity Orthodox Seminary (Jordanville, NY) and St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary (Crestwood, NY). In this interview Nikolaj tells us about his research on the relations between the Serbian Orthodox Church and the Russian Church Abroad and of the American Metropolia with the latter.
