The Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, a splinter group of anti-Communist persuasion, maintains that the parent Russian Orthodox Church in the Soviet Union-and any churches loyal to it-lost their legitimacy by dealing with the atheistic Soviet government. The leaders of the Church Outside Russia accordingly do not recognize the actions of other Russian Orthodox groups. Thus on the same weekend as the Kodiak ceremonies.
