Summary/Abstract: The article examines the tradition of the election of bishops in the Statutes of the post-war Archbishopric of the Russian Churches in Western Europe as well as the heritage of Council in general. The terms related to the elections of bishops will also be discussed. The emphasis will be placed on the two aspect of the heritage of the Moscow Council: first, on the viability of the way chosen by the Council and, secondly, on the fragility of its heritage. The essential message is that keeping awareness of the heritage is vital, and a theological discussion of the heritage is crucial.
