Click on the extended post to watch Russia Today videos about the new Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia.
Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk and Kaliningrad was elected Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church by the Holy Synod of clergy and laypeople this week in Moscow
Russia Today's Al Grunov talks about the new Patriarch with Aleksandr Dvorkin, a professor at St. Tikhon Orthodox University and Andrey Zolotov Jr. a religious commentator and the founding editor of Russia Profile magazine.
the title of a new head of the Russian Chirch is erroneous - it should not be as it says currently - metropolitan - because this word has completely different meaning.
