Russian Orthodox Church

The Russian Orthodox Church is full of mystery and has been around for many generations. Another name that the church goes by is Eastern Orthodox Church, it's also known for being autocephalous. The Russian Orthodox Church goes by the belief of the bible to be the world of God, in other words it is Trinitarian. In the novel, Animal Farm the church is represented as " Moses" the raven. Moses comes and goes and tells the animals about "Sugar Candy Mountain." The Russian Church has been around since 1448, but the metropolitans of Kiev were the head of the church.

Before the revolution, Russia has a great history with the church. According to a 2007 article, many years before the war, the church was in a state of flourishment in the…
