List of Catholic dioceses in Russia
The Catholic Church in Russia, united in the Episcopal Conference of Russia, comprises
- one Latin ecclesiastical province (the Metropolitan archdiocese of Moscow, with three Suffragan dioceses) and a missionary (hence exempt) apostolic prefecture.
- The Eastern Catholics have two proper jurisdictions, each belonging to a different particular church sui iuris and using a different rite.
There are no exempt Latin jurisdictions.
There is an Apostolic Nunciature as papal diplomatic representation (embassy-level) to the Russian Federation in the national capital Moscow.

Crimea
Note that, after the Crimea peninsula, in Ukraine since Soviet days, was unilaterally annexed by the Russian Federation in March 2014, this is not taken into account by the Catholic hierarchy. The Latin rite Catholics of Crimea therefore belong to the diocese of Odessa-Simferopol which is a Suffragan of the archdiocese of Lviv.[1]
