Summary/Abstract: The article examines non-canonical organizations of believers, communities and dioceses that are part of the non-canonical Orthodox jurisdictions operating on the territory of the Novosibirsk Metropolitanate of the Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate located within the borders of the Novosibirsk Region of the Russian Federation. Despite the sharp rejection of the legitimate church structure, these communities could not draw attention to their activities on the part of broad layers of Orthodox believers in the Novosibirsk region and are in a state of canonical isolation, periodically changing their jurisdictional affiliation.
