Summary/Abstract: In the early twentieth century, the Russian Orthodox Church is still one of the major owners in Russia. It possesses huge amounts of land, farms, mills and other agricultural sites, and also hospitals and shelters and many more. The information about the assets of the Church is a rather controversial matter. After the nationalization, carried by the Bolshevist government, the Russian Orthodox Church managed to recover, due to secularization, the full amount of their nationalized property. The Holy Synod is the supreme body of the management and control of the Russian Orthodox Church.
