  Don't worry about it sounding not too Russian:  the Russian word
EPARKHIA is Greek anyway.
However, you might consider using the word EPARCHY, depending on the
genre of the document you are translating and on the type of audience it
is addressed to.
If it is important for you to preserve the local color, go with EPARCHY.

(Webster: eparchy...in the Orthodox Eastern Church, a diocese).
Hope this helps.
