Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia


Following the Russian Revolution and fall of Czar Nicholas and Alexandria (Anastasia's Parents) thousands of Russians left for America, Europe and Asia. When the Russian Orthodox Church accepted the communist leadership, those members on the outside started their own group called the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia or ROCOR. Their headquarters are in New York City.
