President Vladimir Putin\u2019s<\/a> spiritual adviser has been appointed to a diocese in annexed Ukrainian territory.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church<\/a> decided Wednesday to appoint Metropolitan Tikhon to head the Diocese of Crimea, located in an occupied region of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Tikhon is known to be a close ally of the Russian president and has been characterized as “Putin’s confessor” by experts.<\/p>\n

In many Christian churches<\/a>, a “confessor” is a priest who hears an individual’s confessions and offers absolution for sins.<\/p>\n

Tikhon and Putin have been photographed together on multiple occasions, including in March of this year when the pair visited Crimea on the ninth anniversary of its annexation.<\/p>\n

Governor Sergei Aksyonov, who was installed by the Russian government<\/a> following the territory’s annexation in 2014, has called Tikhon “one of the most famous and influential” prelates of the Russian Orthodox Church, according to the Moscow Times.<\/p>\n

Despite his close ties to Putin and the Russian government, Tikhon has tried to posture himself as sympathetic to the Ukrainian people<\/a> since the invasion began.<\/p>\n

“We must speak about what we wake up with, what’s in our heads all day long, and what we go to bed with – it’s Ukraine,” Tikhon said in November 2022. “There is no doubt we are living through an unprecedented tragedy, a fateful stage in the life of our people, our country, and Ukraine.”<\/p>\n

“How will it end?” the bishop continued. “We shall pray that, of course, it should end with peace, and safely. Everyone is calling for peace now.”<\/p>\n

Tikhon \u2014 secular name Georgiy Alexandrovich Shevkunov <\/strong>\u2014 is currently serving as the bishop of Pskov and Porkhov.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He will take up the position left open with the retirement of Metropolitan Lazar of Simferopol.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
