Criticism
* The remaining faction of parishes using the name "Russian Orthodox Church in Exile", after the departure of the other Bishops, was left with only two Bishops, who convened a Sobor in 2008 and reorganized the remaining parishes under Eurasian and American districts until more could be done to build the Church. It is currently "headed" (since according to the Sobor the two Bishops hold virtually equal rank) out of Mansonville, Canada, by Vladimir of San Fransisco and Anastassy of Vladivostok. It is commonly called the ROCIE(V/A). [http://www.roca-sobor.org/ru ROCiE] Its current membership is unknown.
* A group headed out of Moldova by Archbishop Anthony (Rudei) which is generally regarded by all as an unjustified schism, due to the fact that he single-handedly consecrated his own Synod.<ref>[http://www.roca-sobor.org/ru/documents/epistle_to_roca Extraordinary Statement (of the ROCIE(V)(V)]</ref> There are no clear references to any number of parishes on their websites. There is an active parish under this jurisdiction headed by Bishop Seraphim (Skuratov) assisted by a deacon in Birmingham, UK. They have a website http://www.russian-orthodox-church.org.uk/ in Russian and English.
The various ROCIEs may have a handful of clergy and laymen throughout the world which hold allegiance to them but may not have any parish associated with them, and a number of communities across Russia which remain unlisted to avoid unwanted attention from the state. The various ROCIEs do not maintain [[communion]] with each other or with any other jurisdiction. However, the RTOC has recently made overtures to the [[Geunine Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece|True Orthodox Church of Greece(Chrysostomos)]], with some success.
