The Russian True Orthodox Church (RTOC) is a True Orthodox Church with a base in Omsk, Russia. The RTOC has parishes in Russia, Europe, North America, South America and Australia. The origin of the RTOC lies in the priestly ministry of the catacomb cleric Lazar Zhurbenko. On the decision of the ROCOR synod, he was secretly ordained in 1981 as a bishop for the catacomb church. Currently, the president of the synod of bishops is Archbishop Tikhon of Omsk.
