uh, the so-called autocephaly of the latvian orthodox church, which is, for those who don't know, a self-governingdox church within the moscow patriarchate. we understand that the political baltics have long since separated from the russian federation, and, as in recent years, things were going on with the so-called ecclesiastical baltic states. well, to answer your questions, it's probably worth remembering, first of all, the situation in estonia uh, c. in the nineties, now the last century, when, with the active participation of the estonian state, it happened, the emergence of the patriarchate of constantinople on the territory of estonia actually happened. uh, serious church splits. e, already then significantly, complicating relations between the russian orthodox church and constantinople. now we are witnessing what is happening in latvia and i will i can honestly say that if we, uh, weren’t talking to you now at such a kind of tape time, i would think that this news that the political leadership of latvia, uh, is taking some steps to grant latvian autocephaly church that this is some kind of
