A metropolis or episcopal see whose bishop is the metropolitan bishop or archbishop of an ecclesiastical province that has existed since the 10th century in the territory of Kiev Rus', Russia, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, and Belarus in the main Christian churches viz the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. The title has been created with varying suffixes at multiple times in different Christian churches, though always maintaining the name of the metropolitan city — Kiev (Kyiv) — which today is located in the modern state of Ukraine. Following the Council of Florence and the Union of Brest, there are now parallel apostolic successions: in the Russian Orthodox Church, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, the Ruthenian Uniate Church and its successors.
