This article is about the metropolis established in the Tsardom of Moscow in 1448. For other metropolises with similar names, see Metropolis of Kiev.
The Metropolis of Moscow and all Russia was a metropolis that was unilaterally erected by hierarchs of the Eastern Orthodox Church in the territory of the Grand Duchy of Moscow[B 1] in 1448. The first metropolitan was Jonah of Moscow; he was appointed without the approval of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.[1] The metropolis split from the Metropolis of Kiev and all Rus' because the previous metropolitan — Isidore of Kiev — had accepted the Union of Florence. Seventeen prelates succeeded Jonah until Moscow's canonical status was regularised in 1589 with the recognition of Job by the Ecumenical Patriarch. Job was also raised to the status of patriarch and was the first Patriarch of Moscow.
The Moscow Patriarchate was a Caesaropapist entity that was under the control of the Russian state.[2] The episcopal seat was the Dormition Cathedral in Moscow.
