2173historical_info = flavor_rus.23.historical_info In 1721, Peter 'the Great' abolished the Patriarchate of Moscow to subordinate the Orthodox Church to the state. The Holy Synod, a spiritual college representing the Tsar's will, replaced the patriarch. An ober-prokuror was appointed to oversee the Holy Synod, which fiercely persecuted dissenters and imposed censorship on publications.
