Molokan Organizations Around the World

NOTE: There is NO one centrally recognized Molokan Organization that represents all Molokans. Each of these organizations is incorporated by local Molokans. Some Molokans have membership in several organizations. Often Molokans in one organization have different views and opinions, and most often these organizations do not have formal relations with one another.
