Annexation of the Metropolitanate of Kyiv of the Ecumenical Patriarchate by the Moscow Patriarchate is a historical event, a long process of Russian–Ukrainian Church War, which began in 1685 with the ordination of Metropolitan Gedeon of Kyiv by Moscow Patriarch Joachim in Moscovy and ended in 1722, when Peter the Great elected Barlaam (Voniatovych) in the rank of archbishop, not metropolitan. Since then, the Metropolitanate of Kyiv has in fact become one of the ordinary dioceses of the Church of Russia. The main reason for the annexation was the Synidal Letter of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople in 1686 that gave the right to ordain the Metropolitan of Kyiv to the Moscow Patriarch. But the Metropolitan of Kyiv was to be the first to mention the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople and thus confirm the authority of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople over the Metropolitanate of Kyiv.
