- mantas 3y agoAnd not everybody in ex-USSR were on the old calendar.
- rpmisms 3y agoWho wasn't? I guess Cechnya?
- mantas 3y agoEstonia/Latvia/Lithuania and other catholic and protestant communities.
- throwaw33333434 3y agoGreek Catholic and for the first time Ukraine.
- rpmisms 3y agoThere's quite a few Uniates on the old calendar, though.
- mantas 3y agoYes. But Lithuanian and Latvian are Catholics are Roman and protestants in all three are on new calendar (not sure if any protestants use old calendar at all?). And not all catholics outside of baltic states were unites. E.g. western Belarus and western Ukraine has some Roman Catholics. IIRC there’re some Roman Catholic islands inside RF too, but they are tiny. Probably mostly artifacts of forced resettling in Soviet or tsarist eras.
