Wikipedia's article on the Russian Orthodox Church, read directly for this pass, which states Peter the Great replaced the Patriarch with the Most Holy Synod in 1721 following Patriarch Adrian's 1700 death with no successor named, and that the Patriarchate was restored by the 1917 to 1918 Local Council, which resolved on restoration three days after the October Revolution and elected Metropolitan Tikhon of Moscow the first restored Patriarch in November 1917, ending about 200 years of Synodal rule.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
A community-edited tertiary reference, not peer-reviewed, but the 1721 abolition and 1917 restoration of the Moscow Patriarchate are settled history with no live dispute over either year. NotesCited for the 1721 Synodal reform and the 1917 Patriarchate restoration; the polity fact's existing primary source does not narrate either date.
