The Council of Vladimir (Russian: Владимирский собор) was a Church council of the Russian Orthodox Church, held at the initiative of Metropolitan Kirill II in 1274 in the city of Vladimir.

Background[edit]

In the wake of the Mongol conquest of Rus’, Kirill was appointed Metropolitan of Kiev. In 1270, he sent a request to the Bulgarian despot Iakob Svetoslav to send books of canon law (Kormchaia kniga) with interpretations. A translation from Greek into Old Church Slavic had been made in 1225 in Serbia, but Kirill called the council to resolve differences in canon law.

Decisions[edit]

The council that a new Kormchaia should be compiled.
