Yes, of course. The Orthodox Church was founded by Jesus Himself in the year 33 AD, on the Day of Pentecost. According to Orthodox Christian beliefs, the Orthodox Church has always existed from the beginning of time (called the Church Triumphant) but the physical church on earth (called the Church Militant) was established in Jerusalem in 33 AD and continues to exist to this day without any changes to its dogmas and beliefs. It will continue to exist until the end of the world.

The Orthodox Church.
Roman religion died out nearly 2,000 years ago and we do not use it today. What we have inherited form the Romans are Catholic and Orthodox Christianity. Christianity spread around the Roman Empire and developed into the Catholic and Orthodox creeds in the Roman days. The former was the religion of the western part of the Roman Empire and the latter was the religion of the eastern part of the Roman Empire.
The Orthodox Church as it is today was established at the Great Schism of 1054, when Christianity split into the East (Eastern Orthodoxy) and the West (Roman Catholicism).
The specific type of Christianity practiced by the eastern half of the Roman Empire was known as Eastern Orthodox Christianity. It developed its own distinct traditions and teachings separate from Western Christianity, eventually leading to the Great Schism of 1054 that permanently divided the Eastern and Western branches of Christianity. Eastern Orthodox Christianity is still practiced today, primarily in countries such as Russia, Greece, and Eastern European countries.
The USSR was (and Russia still is today) part of the Eastern Orthodox Church, which is a type of Christianity. If you want to know the history, it came from the empire settled by Justinian. Can't remember the name of it, sorry!
Feet worship is primarily practiced in certain Hindu, Buddhist, and Taoist traditions, where the feet are considered a sacred part of the body. In Hinduism, touching or bowing down to someone's feet is a sign of respect and reverence, while in Buddhist and Taoist practices, feet are seen as channels for energy flow and healing.
