History
The community in Tampere, under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, was founded in the 1990s by a teacher at the University of Tampere, Lyudmila Dmitrievna Perepelkina [2] . The parish was directly subordinated to the First Hierarch of the ROCOR, Metropolitan Vitaly (Ustinov) [3] . Archimandrite Alexy (Makrinov) from St. Petersburg began to perform services in the parish [4] . Mentioned by the abbot in 2000 [5] .
On February 3, 1994, the parish received official state registration in the register of religious communities in Finland [6] , which caused a sharp negative reaction from the then head of the Archbishop of Constantinople, the Patriarchate of Archbishop John (Rinne) of Finland , who separated members of the community from ecclesiastical communion.
By not adopting actions aimed at reconciliation with the Russian Orthodox Church , the community went into schism. Jurisdiction unknown.
The number of officially registered members of the community remains small [6] :
