History
[edit]Since 1898, parishes in Manchuria were subordinated to the Russian Spiritual Mission in Beijing. However in 1907 the parishes of the CER alienation strip were administratively subordinated to Vladivostok diocese.[1]
A diocese with a cathedra was established in Harbin, for the Orthodox diaspora which had appeared in the territory of Manchuria after the Russian Revolution. The ruling bishop was assigned a title: bishop of Harbin and Tsitsikarsky.[2] The Harbin diocese was independent of the Russian Spiritual Mission in Beijing and was directly subordinate to the Synod of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad.[3]
