History
It was created on December 1, 1840 after being separated from the Irkutsk diocese . Initially, the department was in Novoarkhangelsk on the island of Baranova , in America. Subsequently, at the discretion of the ruling bishop, the department is transferred to various points. So, in 1852-1853 she was in Ayansk ; since 1853 - in Yakutsk , in connection with the accession to the diocese on July 26, 1852 in the Yakutsk region ; and from December 21, 1858 - in Blagoveshchensk-on-Amur .
After the sale of Alaska to the United States, the Aleutian Diocese was separated from the diocese in 1870.
In 1899, the Vladivostokskaya diocese was separated from the Kamchatka diocese, with the pulpit in Vladivostok, which included the Primorsky region with Kamchatka, and the remaining part, retaining the pulpit in Blagoveshchensk and encompassing the Amur region , lost the name Kamchatka and became known as the Annunciation.
On August 22, 1916, the Kamchatka Vicariate was created in the Vladivostok diocese; on October 5 of the same year, the vicar received special powers and the title of “Kamchatka and Peter and Paul”.
On September 6, 1922, Bishop Nestor (Anisimov) sent a telegram to the Higher Church Administration Abroad requesting the creation of an independent Kamchatka diocese: “According to the 1920 Patriarchal Decree No. 362, the meeting of the bishops Michael, Methodius, Meletius, Nestor decided to separate the Kamchatka diocese with the annexation of Ohot , which is part of the Kamchatka region ” [3] .
On September 11 of the same year, the Provisional Synod of Bishops of the ROCOR, having examined this petition, decided: “to allow and bless the separation of the Kamchatka Region as an independent diocese with the accession of the Okhotsk Uyezd as a vicariate” [3] .
Soon the department ceased, although its archpastor Nestor (Anisimov) , who emigrated abroad, continued to be titled Kamchatsky and Petropavlovsk until 1945 .
In the early 1930s, local Soviet leaders reported to Moscow that Kamchatka was the first region in which the life of the parish church was completely over [4] . 40 years later, a small Orthodox community formed in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. For more than 10 years, it existed semi-legally - local authorities did not disperse it, but did not register it. Finally, in 1985 Moscow recognized the “Kamchatka case as an excess”, and the community received registration [5] .
On February 22, 1993, the independent Peter and Paul Diocese within the Kamchatka Region was separated from Magadan [6] .
In 1995-1996, the ordination of the first priests and deacon from parishioners of Kamchatka churches took place [7] .
