The Synod of the ROC also decided to establish a Crimean Metropolis on the territory of Crimea, consisting of the Dzhankoy, Simferopol and Feodosia dioceses, and to appoint Metropolitan Lazar of Simferopol and Crimea as its head.
It is noted that such decisions were made in response to the appeal of the Crimean metropolitans and given the “need to maintain effective canonical and administrative ties with the central church authorities” due to the “practical impossibility of regular communication between these dioceses and the Kyiv Metropolis.”
