if you mean eaoc, then they're just under the ecumenical patriarch of constantinople: it's autonomous but does not have full autocephaly. it was established in 1920 and moved under constantinople in '23

estonia and latvia have more ethnic estonians and latvians who are orthodox, nearly all of lithuania's orthodox are russians. they are pushing for autocephaly too but it's a bit more quietly

there are still massive tensions about this ofc, and they had another official schism in 2018 when constantinople granted full autocephaly to the orthodox church of ukraine. this schism is still in effect. the history of the orthodox churches is all very messy, but super interesting.

for example, you guys over in serbia have autocephaly and you're in full communion with all the others, while ROC has severed full communion with EPC a bunch of times, and quite recently also severed communion with the patriarchate of alexandria, the church of greece and the church of cyprus.

Ukraine meets condition 1. Autocephaly for the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (tomos, January 2019) cut into what Moscow treats as the core of its canonical space. Moscow broke communion with Constantinople over it. A threat to jurisdiction became a threat to the Church itself (Photo: Mike Cecire)

They are schismatics, but they weren't "thrown out." Moscow left of its own accord after the grant of autocephaly to Ukraine and the revocation of the 1686 letter of issue.

Bartholomew I, Primus Inter Pares of the Eastern Orthodox Church in Constantinople & leader of Eastern Orthodoxy worldwide, recognized Orthodox Church of Ukraine as independent of Russian Church. So Russian Orthodoxy severed full communion with Constantinople.
Russian Orthodoxy buried only itself.

Off, russia hates the fact that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church received autocephaly from the Ecumenical Patriarch in 2019 and that Ukr has banned the Ru Orthodox Church which is de facto an arm of the FSB. The emphasis that they are *both* Orthodox is just an attempt to erase Ukr differences again

Guess they don’t know about the Russian Old Believers, the Eastern Catholic Churches arising, declining and persisting in the borderlands between Russia and Europe, or the Orthodox Church of Ukraine gaining autocephaly in 2019.
