The head of the Russian Orthodox church is called the Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia. He is His Holiness Patriarch +KYRILL I.

One can find Orthodox churches in many countries around the world for example Japan, Australia, Canada, USA, in Every counry in Europe. There is a Russian Orthodox church in Antarctica There are Russian Ortodox Churches in Latin America. During the communism regime there was a great pressure on the Orthodx faith and it had really weakend the church to the point where we did not know if we could continue to exist. God willing the church has survived and it is truyl a miracle to see the rebirth of christianiy in Russia and the popularity of the Russian Orthodox Church abroad. Patriarch Kirill is doing a great job spreading the chrisian faith within Russia and also abroad. What drives people to the Russian Orthodox Church even among the other Orthodox Christians is that tradition and that sincere faith that caputres ones heart even upon an entry into a Russian Orthodox Church.

As with many questions, it depends . . . the Russian Orthodox Church is headed by the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia (the Russian Orthodox Church is often referred to as "the Moscow Patriarchate," or simply, "MP"). By "All Russia," of course, is meant all the lands that have been traditionally included in a Russian State. Ukraine has been included in Russian States for the past several hundred years. Ukraine only gained independence after the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s.

The Russian Orthodox Church has several hundred, if not thousands, of parishes in the Ukraine, under the designation of "The Ukrainian Orthodox Church under the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate." This jurisdiction is rather loose-the Ukrainian Church under the MP is considered an "Autonomous Church"-all the Bishops, as well as the Metropolitan (head of this Church) are voted on in Ukraine by Ukrainian Bishops; the MP has the "right of refusal" if a candidate is considered unworthy, but in practice, this happens very rarely. So, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church/Moscow Patriarchate, is indeed in union with the Russian Orthodox Church.

Depends which "Ukrainian Orthodox Church" you mean. If you mean the Autonomous Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which is self-ruld but under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church, the answer is "yes." If you mean the Ukrainian Orthodox parishes in the USA, Europe, and Australia which are under the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople (although these are certainly NOT a "Ukrainian Orthodox Church," but simply Ukrainian Orthodox dioceses of the Patriarchate of Constantinople), the answer is "yes."

If you mean any other Ukrainian Orthodox groups-whther one of the so-called variety of "Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox" Churches IN the Ukraine (some of which also now have parishes in the USA), or any of the plethora of vagante, fly by night, non-canoncial, possibly heretical, possibly occult groups in the US that include the words "Ukrainian" and "Orthodox" iin their names, the answer is "NO."
