Protests are based largely on charges that Metropolitan Seraphim is a former Nazi collaborator, and claims that control of the western dioceses properly belongs to the Ecumenical Patriarchate at Istanbul. The anti-Moscow group supports Archbishop Vladimir, of Nice, assistant to the late Exarch, who asserts he was named in Metropolitan Eulogius’ will to succeed him.
