This template is a soup sandwich. It combines several unrelated organizations, although that are historically associated. The template lists the Metropolitans of Muscovy along with the Metropolitans of Polish-Lithuanian Kyiv that were already in different countries for several centuries. It also lists Metropolitans of Moscow as bishops of the Patriarchate of Constantinople even though they on their own free will succeeded from the Kyivan Church and the Patriarchate, creating a new church. They were only readmitted back to the Eastern Orthodox community a century later. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 19:43, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
