RusOC in America: Archimandrite Nicholas (Iuhos) recieved in from HOCNA
A total surprise to us, as a Russian True Orthodox jurisdiction which had previously been only in the CIS comes to America: the RusOC (Russian: РосПЦ– Российскую Православную Церковь), primarily the Russian part of the ROCOR-V that was formed originally during the period of change in 2004-2006, and had broken off as a Russian administration and has been growing throughout Russia over the past few years, has– according to its news site– received in its first American monastery.
According to the official website of RusOC and reported on Mech-I-Trost, Archimandrite Nicholas (Iuhos) has been received into the RusOC from the HOCNA (confirmed by us this morning) and Fr Nicholas has graciously agreed to a short interview with NFTU, where we can learn more about Fr Nicholas’ decision and more about the RusOC.
Hello Dcn. Joseph,
Just out of curiosity did this interview ever get to take place? And it appears that his monastery in Niagra Falls may be moving to the Pittsburgh area according to some blogs online. I haven’t been able to find any real evidence that this is taking place though.

No, he said “later”, and then left the RusOC. When asked if he would talk about that, he said later.
I think he liked the idea of an interview but then changed his mind about it.
We do talk to him occasionally.
So he’s not in the synod under Met. Damascene of Russia anymore? Do you know who he is with?
I too would also like to know the answer to this question. From what I can tell, he’s talking to no one.
