Threat of independence: why the exarch of the Belarusian church was replaced

Patriarch Kirill on September 6 will elevate the new Belarusian exarch Benjamin to the rank of metropolitan, thereby completing the reshuffle in the Belarusian Orthodox Church. The replacement of the head of the BPC takes place against the background of mass rallies against Alexander Lukashenko in Belarus, so the departure of the past exarch is partly tied to the president's personal request. At the same time, Belarus has now begun to discuss the possibility of obtaining autocephaly according to the Ukrainian scenario, and therefore the Russian Orthodox Church seeks to strengthen its position.
