### Its timeline
- NOVEMBER 1984 Bereslavsky's claimed revelation at the Smolensk cathedral; the movement begins underground. He is ordained in the True Orthodox Church in 1985.
- 1989–1991 Registered first as a trade union, as the MOTHER OF GOD CENTRE, in 1989, then in April 1991 with the Russian Ministry of Justice as a philanthropic, educational and publishing body.
- 1990s Peak influence in post-Soviet Russia; heavy state and Orthodox Church opposition.
- 1997 RENAMED THE ORTHODOX CHURCH OF THE SOVEREIGN MOTHER OF GOD (OCSMG), the name under which it is studied academically — where it is also, strikingly, described as A NEW CATHAR CHURCH.
- DECEMBER 2006 OCSMG MEMBERS WHO STAGED AN EXHIBITION, SOLOVKI — THE SECOND GOLGOTHA, ARE ARRESTED in Lipetsk on an accusation of causing psychological harm to a group of students. THE CHARGES WERE NEVER PROVEN; only a small fine was imposed. THE STATE INSTEAD BEGAN REVOKING THE REGISTRATIONS OF LOCAL CONGREGATIONS, which required no court to find anything.
- 2009 Bereslavsky relocates to Spain, from where he continues to direct the movement.
- 2002–2012 Registered congregations fall from 30 to 19 as local authorities revoke registrations.
- 2021 Moscow prosecutors ask a court in December 2020 to declare THE BOGOMIL GOSPEL and THE ROSE OF THE SERAPHITES extremist, and a Moscow court does so in April 2021. The SOVA Center logged the action in its surveys of the MISUSE of Russia’s anti-extremism law.
