Archdiocese of the Goths and the Northlands

[1] The church was established in 1994 in Moscow by Aleksey Sievers [ru], who was ordained archbishop under the name Amvrosij (Ambrosius).

[3][4] According to Aleksey "Ambrosius" Sievers, Christianity came to the Goths as early as the mid-1st century by a missionary journey of Andrew the Apostle, long before their conversion to Arianism under the episcopate of Ulfilas.

It's fairly realistic to speak of Old Gothic (Byzantine) and Celtic (a little later Anglo-Saxon) influence in Sweden, instead of Roman".

[5] These claims run counter to the general 20th-century consensus of historians, but there is some more recent research which seems to corroborate that Christianity may have been present in Russia earlier than previously thought, from as early as the 8th or 9th century, via Byzantine transmission.

[8] The church also has icons of Adolf Hitler who is venerated as a saint for his fight against Bolshevism as "Athaulf the Holy, the Leader of Germany" and the church annually celebrates the anniversary of the beginning of Operation Barbarossa.
