Russian term or phrase: тогда как
This paragraph is discussing the missionary activity of Patriarch Nicholas Mysticus, and comparing his way of doing things with the famed Cyril and Methodius mission.

Thanks in advance!

Хотя инициатива обращения Северного Кавказа принадлежала не Константинополю, а Абхазскому княжеству (уже хорошо известная нам практика: варвары крестят варваров), тем не менее и сам Николай предпринял несколько смелых шагов: как мы увидим из его писем, он, во-первых, отправлял в Аланию миссионеров из своего ближайшего окружения (тогда как Константин и Мефодий, к примеру, не имели церковного чина), во-вторых, не выпускал их из зоны внимания и следил за их деятельностью (опять же, по контрасту c равнодушием, проявленным Константинополем в отношении солунских братьев) и, наконец, Николай начал тот процесс, который вскоре привел к включению этой епархии в структуру вселенского патриархата

Explanation:
A very nice translation for "тогда как" indeed.

Example sentence(s):
