According to some information about the 1996 Raphael (ProcopiusProkopyev) entered in the jurisdiction of the "Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church " under "Patriarch " Dimitri Yarema", where he was ordained "bishop of the Krasnoyarsk".
December 19, 1996 with Adrian (oldStarina), Baruch and Sergius (Sarkisov) took part in the coronation in Noginsk '''"Emperor Nicholas III" .'''The history of the RUSSIAN TRUE ORTHODOX CHURCH Russian true orthodox church begins in 1997, when there was disagreement between the head of RUSSIAN TRUE ORTHODOX CHURCH Russian true orthodox church Iohan, which was part of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church-Patriarchate of Kiev (under the Omophor of Patriarch Demetrios Yarema), and the other bishops.
These differences resulted from the decisions of the Council of Bishops June 26, 1997. Bishop Joan of Modzalevsk was defrocked from the priesthood. The refusal of the Patriarch Demetrios (Yarema) to support the solutions the Council of RUSSIAN TRUE ORTHODOX CHURCH caused the breakdown of communion between the UAOC-KP and RTOC and the creation of an independent jurisdiction of the RUSSIAN TRUE ORTHODOX CHURCH. In the same year, the church accepted a group headed by Raphael (Prokopyev). He was bishop of "we don't know that church".
'''In September 21, 1997''' his re-ordination was attended by "Metropolitan Krutitskii" Ambrose (Katamadzeh), "Archbishop of Dmitrov" Stefan (Linitsky) and "bishop Gaynatsky and Imertinsky" Moses (Hodzhava) as bishop of Volokolamsk.
On February 25, 1998, Moscow hosted the Council of Bishops of the TRUE ORTHODOX CHURCHESTrue orthodox churches, which was attended by Bishops previously separated from the Free Russian Orthodox Church (they were outside of any jurisdiction).
These "bishops" expressed their desire to enter communion with RUSSIAN TRUE ORTHODOX CHURCHRussian true orthodox church, entering into its structure with their dioceses, clergy and congregation. Bishops of the RUSSIAN TRUE ORTHODOX CHURCH accepted them and included both structures in one Holy Synod of the RTOC.
Meanwhile, the Synod of the RUSSIAN TRUE ORTHODOX CHURCH was rocked by growing contradictions. In late 1998, the controversy resulted in a split, and Ambrose was taken out from the Synod, and in January 22, 1999 was defrocked from the priesthood.
Now the True Orthodox Church in Russia is in "full communion" with Angelos of Avlona (Greece) and "Metropolitan" John Lobue of New York
