Vyacheslav Baskakov erased the pictures of himself presenting in his gown with the creator merchandise after they were grabbed by Russian media and shared online a week ago.
"Such activities are not satisfactory. The Church requires unobtrusiveness and moderation of its delegates," Alexander Volkov, a representative for Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, told AFP.
Volkov said the Gucci minister would confront a disciplinary panel in the Tver locale where he is based, north of the capital.
The representative focused on this was not a criminal test and that the "lion's share of Russian Orthodox Church clerics lives unobtrusively".
He didn't give a date for any consultation nor remark on an imaginable discipline.
