Who held the power in the Eastern Orthodox Church?
The Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople is considered the spiritual leader of Orthodox Christians; however, this position is not analogous to that of the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. As the Orthodox Church considers Jesus Christ the head of the Church, the Ecumenical Patriarch is simply considered as 'first among equals.' The Patriarchs of Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem then follow the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople in seniority respectively.

How did the eastern orthodox church view the pope?
Did? So we're talking past-tense...hmm. In the early days of the church the terms "pope" and "patriarch" were synonymous. Pope did not refer to the infallible power we know today. He was viewed as the Orthodox view the patriarch; a first among equals. Now, though, the Pope is seen as infallible by the Catholic church. Although the Orthodox respect his religious authority, they do not acknowledge his rite of infallibility.

What is the movement of the Eastern Orthodox Christianity?
The Eastern Orthodox Church is one of the two halves of Christianity that emerged after the Great Schism of 1054. It is much more deeply rooted in mysticism than its Western counterpart, the Catholic Church, and claims to uphold the traditions of the original Church of ancient times. The Orthodox and Catholic Churches formally split in 1054 with the excommunication of the Patriarch of Constantinople and his counter excommunication of several papal legates. Eastern and Western Christianity had been growing apart for many centuries, and had their adherents had clashed over a range of issues from the role and power of the pope, the Filioque Controversy, the issue of Iconoclasm, and a multitude of others, with events of 1054 being the final straw. The Orthodox Church has since divided in several 'autocephalous' branches, including the Greek Orthodox and Russian Orthodox churches. Several attempts have been made towards reunification, but none so far has succeeded.
How did Christianity become orthodox or Catholic?
The Church of Christ was founded by the Holy Apostles on the First Pentecost. That Church was Orthodox (Right believing, Right worshipping) and Catholic (Universal). The Church of Christ-wherever people were converted to it, was Orthodox, until 1054, when the West (Western Europe) split from the Orthodox Church due to different issues, but mainly revolving around the novel claim of the Popes that they had more power than did all the other Bishops of the Church. As time went on, the church in the West became known as "the Roman Catholic Church," the True Church of Christ in the East as the "Orthodox Church," usually modified by the region of the Church being spoken of - "Greek Orthodox Church," "Russian Orthodox Church," etc. In light of the belief of the Orthodox Church that it is the True Church of Christ, and therefore, True Christianity, "Christianity" did not "become Orthodox or Catholic," but always was, and still is Orthodox; Roman Catholics are an organization that adopted incorrect beliefs about the Church and about Christ from the 9th century on; once being identical, by the 20th century, the gulf had widened greatly, with Roman Catholic belief becoming very far away, indeed, from the beliefs of Orthodox Christianitythe True Church of Christ, the only Genuine Christianity.

What denomination did The Eastern Orthodox Emerge?
You're question is a little unclear and could mean two things so I'll answer both. Why did the Orthodox denomination emerge? The Orthodox emerged when the eastern and western bishops excommunicated each other in a power struggle in 1054. The east became the Orthodox and the west became the Catholics. Who broke off from the Orthodox? There was no reformation in the east like there was in the west. There was the separation of the Coptics, but that was simply on their slightly different belief about the nature of the Trinity.

Millions of Orthodox people were killed during the 70 years of Communism in Russia.
