Metropolis of Kiev

Metropolis of Kiev is an episcopal title that has been created with varying suffixes at multiple times in different Christian churches, though always maintaining the name of the metropolitan city — Kiev (Kyiv) — which today is located in the modern state of Ukraine. Following the Council of Florence and the Union of Brest, there are now parallel apostolic successions: in the Russian Orthodox Church, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, the Ruthenian Uniate Church and its successors. They include:

• Metropolis of Kiev and all Rus' (988–1441)

• Metropolis of Moscow and all Russia established in the Tsardom of Moscow in 1448 following the division of the original metropolis.
• Metropolis of Kiev, Galicia and all Ruthenia (Ruthenian Uniate Church) (1595–1805) erected in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1595/96 following the Union of Brest.
• Metropolis of Kiev, Galicia and all Rus' (1620–1686) - metropolis of the Eastern Orthodox Church that was re-established in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (1620–1686)
