Yes. It is a form of Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

The Orthodox church is basically the same if it's Russian, Greek, or whatever. They use different languages but the beliefs are the same. The Catholic church is kind of a cross between the Orthodox church and prostestant churches. The Orthodox church has lots of fasting, but when they fast they still eat, they just cut certain things out. They don't sing much in church, and the "hard core" Orthodox churches have you stand instead of sit during the service. They have real nice pictures of Jesus that they sort of worship, so they're accused of worshipping icons. They're not as organized as the Catholics, so there's not one person that has the final say on things. They're a pretty nice religion.

Ukrainian Orthodox is a branch of the Eastern Catholic Church. They have basically the same beliefs as the Roman Catholic except they don't have the pope but a bishop as the head of the church.

Russian Orthodox. (same)
I used to live in a part of Oregon which is very heavily populated by Russian /Ukrainian Orthodox people. Very colorful and traditional attire. Strong family values. Most in Oregon are farmers, particularly berries. They have a strong sense of community and keep to themselves. Arranged marriages are very common. A "Russian" wedding is a week-long party, as are most of their religious holiday celebrations.

Its another type of Christianity.
Ortodox have thier own bible which more accurate than translation of King James. Its closer to international version.
Few major things to note.
For Eastern ortodox ( russia, greek, and so on...)
Soul is in the blood and not in the flesh like in King James which makes animals samething having soul.
THe most important thing that Hell in those ortodox Christians are not ethernal.
WHich makes irrelevant to ethernity. GOD will save every1 from hell too.
THere are many more differences but i would say this would be major once.
THerefore GOD and money exist.

Its a form of catholicism that is an offshoot of the original religion, like the Roman Catholic religion.
