sentences:  At the time of the creation of the exarchate, the diocese comprised Russian Orthodox parishes that were under administration of the Russian émigré bishop Eulogius Georgiyevsky.The latter decided to switch under the jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate as he was unwilling to continue his administrative subordination to the Moscow Patriarchate, then under full control of the Soviet State, nor was he willing to recognize the authority of the Yugoslavia-based Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, then headed by Anthony (Khrapovitsky).In 1931, Metropolitan Eulogius, along with the clergy and laity who supported him, was admitted to the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople; these parishes received the status of a temporary Exarchate in Western Europe, which was abolished in 1965.
