Read about it here. Or not, in which case here’s a summary, courtesy one Nina Tkachuk Dimas:
By decision of the MP Holy Synod on 3/31/09 +Hilarion Alfeyev is appointed bp. of Volokalamsk, vicar to the Patriarch of Moscow. +Hilarion is appointed head of the Dept. of External Relations and permanent member of the Holy Synod. ….. +Mark of Yegoryevsk will temporarily oversee the Vienna, Austria/Hungary eparchy.
Many years! (Although, too bad for Western Europe.)
