History
It was established by the Highest Decree of April 13, 1793 for the western regions that became part of the Russian Empire in the second division of Poland - instead of the Turov diocese, which remained until 1798 under the jurisdiction of the Kiev Metropolis, as well as the episcopal department in Slutsk . Initially, the department was in Slutsk and was moved to Minsk on September 3, 1799 by decree on April 12, 1795.
On October 23, 2014, the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church, by separating it from the Minsk diocese, formed the Borisov , Slutsk and Molodechno dioceses. The boundaries of the Minsk diocese were limited to the city of Minsk and the Minsk region. The diocese became part of the Minsk Metropolis formed within Minsk, the Minsk region and the Minsk region [1] .
