History
In accordance with the Provision on regional bishops from March 12, 1934 in pursuance of the decree of the Local Council of 1917-1918 on the metropolitan districts, the Provisional Patriarchal Holy Synod formed church areas within several dioceses, including a metropolis with the center of Samara [1] . The date of the abolition is unknown. Most likely this happened in 1943 during the reorganization of the episcopal departments.
The Metropolis was established at a meeting of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church on March 15–16, 2012 [2] .
