- Living Church [ru] was the first and one of three major renovationist organizations. It was formed in the spring of 1922 and initially united all the leaders of Renovationism. The leader of the "Living Church" all the time of its existence was protopresbyter Vladimir Krasnitsky. In September 1923, Krasnitsky announced the rupture of the "Living Church" headed by him with the Renovationist Holy Synod, however, most members of the "Living Church" did not follow Krasnitsky, remaining loyal to the Renovationist Synod, and the "Living Church" turned into a small local group of supporters of Krasnitsky. After Krasnitsky's death in 1936 and Great Purge of 1937, the "Living Church" finally disappeared.
