The first Belarusian diocese was founded in Polotsk in 992; Turavsk was established as Belarus's second diocese in 1005, both part of the main church headquartered in Kyiv. During the 1300s, both dioceses were moved under the Orthodox Church headquartered in Moscow. These dioceses both ceased to exist in 1596; in 1632, an Orthodox church diocese was reestablished in Mogilev in 1632. As the Russian empire acquired sovereignty over the territory of Belarus, the diocese of Minsk was created; the 1800s saw the establishment of three additional dioceses. At the beginning of World War I (1914), there were 3,552 churches within the 5 Orthodox dioceses in Belarus. <ref> Wikipedia, "Беларуская Праваслаўная Царква", in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia,'' https://be.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%91%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%83%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%9E%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%A6%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%BA%D0%B2%D0%B0, accessed 18 October 2022. </ref> | The first Belarusian diocese was founded in Polotsk in 992; Turavsk was established as Belarus's second diocese in 1005, both part of the main church headquartered in Kyiv.
