Tikhon of Moscow (1865–1925) was a prominent Russian Orthodox prelate who served as the eleventh Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia. Following a two-century period of Synodal administration, he was elected to restore the patriarchate in 1917. Before his leadership in Russia, he served as a bishop in North America, where he oversaw growing immigrant communities and established several churches. His tenure as patriarch was marked by significant challenges, including the political upheavals of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent pressures exerted by the Soviet government.
