The Russian Catholic Apostolic Exarchate of Russia is the sui iuris ("autonomous") Eastern Catholic jurisdiction of the Catholic Church for the Byzantine Rite in Russia. It is one of only two components of the Russian Greek Catholic Church, which has no proper diocese, its only sister being the Russian Apostolic Exarchate of Harbin in China, which also has been vacant for decades.
