John C. Medaille,

No. The Russian Orthodox Church has never made the jump from the 
Julian calendar.

The epiphany for the western churches, both Catholic and Protestant 
that use the Gregorian calendar, is January 6, the "twelfth day of Christmas."


Needless to say, this means the Orthodox epiphany is January 19.

The date of the Bolshevik Revolution under the old calendar was October 25,
which is November 7 under the Gregorian calendar.
