In this context, Archimandrite Nicodim (Ion Vulpe) from Orhei was included on the editorial board of &nbsp;BORusia. &nbsp;Dean, Fr. Anatolie Zmeu was delegated by the Russian bishops to serve in Italy <em>\u201e to start parish communities for Moldovans there\u201d<\/em> \u2026 The Russian Synod then decided to <em>\u201erelieve Abbess Xenia (Rusanovskaia) from her position at Tab\u0103ra monastery and name as new Abbess there Minodora (Bor\u015f) from Coada Iazului monastery\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No particular attention would have been accorded the above facts had it not been for\u2026 [the Chisinau Metropolitanate] a few days ago flattering itself, on its own website, &nbsp;with its \u201eindependence\u201d and its incensed 1993 \u201eTomos\u201d, that piece of paper, void of any reality, but always passed under our Christian noses here [in the Moldovan Republic as proof of the]\u2026 \u201eIndependence\u201d possessed by the local church structure of BORusia, reinstated here after the arrival of the Soviet tanks; which is really nothing but a pseudo-independence which is neither autocephalous nor autonomous.&nbsp; It is but a fiction invented by the Russian Synod\u2026 For those who do not know the real situation, and after hearing repeatedly about this \u201eindependence\u201d, they might even believe that, from a Church perspective, Moldovan Chisinau might even be equal to that of Russian Moscow; which is surely false, given that the Moscow Patriarchate\u2019s structure in the Moldovan Republic is as \u201eindependent\u201d as any any Metropolitanate from within the Russian Federation.
