The only titles for Russian religious figures that are translated into English are:

Archimandrite (Arkhimandrit)
Bishop (Episkop)
Metropolitan (Mitropolit), and
Patriarch (Patriarkh).

All other forms remain in Russian (ex. skhimonakh, eroskhimonakh, otets).

Starets is never used in a ‡c. Use some other term, even ‡cMonk.
