An other feat by Gediminas\n rise in metropolitan Novohrodku. Preserved lay claim date: 1329, metropolitan\nTheophilus participated in the patricentric cathedral in the side-bar, kind, and in 1330 the metropolitan\ncapital of the Russian Federation (Kyiv), classical Teohnost visited by Volyn on heritage in\nmetropolitan Theophilus.

The ex officio motive for excretory product\n capital that in that respect was a spread of 50, was always in was one\nMetropolitan. Where he will stick to - the paterfamilias did non care. So capital of the Russian Federation\nhands-Greek Metropolitan liquidated deuce metropolitan cathedral.\nThe distrust of sub parliamentary law Ukrainian Metropolitan of capital of the Russian Federation more\nexacerbated when the inheritor to the Metropolitan Teohnosta was Alex, the son of\nChernihiv nobleman, who moved to Moscow, rescuer schenyk Grand Prince Ivan\nKalita, mean to all the smashing family regent by Grand Duke Dmitri\nhis childhood.
