I believe Russian Orthodox is second to the Greek Orthodox which actually the part of Constantinople Patriarchate. 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.
