  • Fractured Orthodoxy in Ukraine and Politics: the Impact of Patriarch Kyrill’S “Russian World”1
    Logos: A Journal of Eastern Christian Studies Vol. 54 (2013) Nos. 1–2, pp. 33–67 Fractured Orthodoxy in Ukraine and Politics: The Impact of Patriarch Kyrill’s “Russian World”1 Nicholas E. Denysenko Abstract (Українське резюме на ст. 67) This article analyzes the intersection of “church” and “state” in Ukraine and the many complexities of a situation involving a multiplicity of both ecclesial and political actors: in the latter category, both Russia and Ukraine itself, in the context of a globalized world; in the former category the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate; the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (in both pre- and post-war iterations); the Ukrainian Greco-Catholic Church; and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Kyiv Patriarchate. Adding to the complexity of these relations among these chur- ches and between these states is a new theopolitical ideology being sponsored by the current Patriarch Kiril of Moscow under the heading of a “Russian world,” which is supposed to unite at least East-Slavic Orthodoxy (if not other Orthodox Churches) and their host countries against the perceived threats of “Western” globalization. This “Russian world” is analyzed here for what it says, what reactions it has evoked among the four major churches in Ukraine; and for what it might portend for Orthodox Christians in Ukraine and well as relations between Moscow and Constantinople in the ongoing struggle for understanding of global primacy among Orthodox hierarchs. 1 All translations from Ukrainian and Russian are by Nicholas Denysenko unless otherwise noted. 34 Nicholas E. Denysenko Introduction Historically, Ukraine is a cradle of Orthodox Christianity, the center of the baptism of Rus’ in 988 during the rule of Grand Prince Vladimir.

  • Ukrainian Orthodox Church
    UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH - A POWERFUL PEACE ACTOR? According to the Constitution, Ukraine is a secular state, where its churches and all religious organizations are separated from the state and the legislative process. According to theologian Gennadiy Druzenko, in the framework of the regional scope, Ukraine might be described as one of the most religious countries in Europe.1 It is an undeniable fact, as the history of the Ukrainian Church dates back to the times of the Kyivan Rus, when its Prince Volodymyr the Great received Christianity from Constantinople in 988. It was one of the most remarkable event in the Ukrainian state creation that united Ukrainian people spiritually. However, it further served as an instrument of manipulations and basis for lies from the Russian side so as to justify its rights for the Ukrainian state. Further centuries are marked by a constant fight of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate, Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, one of the most pivotal soft instruments of the Russian hybrid warfare and the Russian foreign policy in promoting ideas of the so-called “Russian World”, to become a powerful actor on the international arena and win hearts and minds of Ukrainians. Nevertheless, in the times of the “Ukraine crisis”, that broke out in 2014 after the illegal annexation of Crimea and the manifestations of the Russian aggression in Eastern Ukraine, the question of the religious independence from Russia was more pressing than ever. And finally, on January 9, 2019, a historical event has taken place – Ecumenical Patriarchate Bartholomew signed the Tomos of autocephaly, as a result the newly-established Orthodox Church of Ukraine was granted its canonical independence.

  • 43 the Ukrainian Orthodox Autocephalous Movement
    Analele UniversităŃii din Craiova. Istorie, Anul XXIV, Nr. 1(35)/2019 THE UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX AUTOCEPHALOUS MOVEMENT DURING THE YEARS OF GERMAN OCCUPATION Andrii Smyrnov* Abstract The article deals with the development of the Ukrainian autocephalous movement during the German-Soviet War. The subseQuent German occupation of Ukraine led to a spontaneous revival in church life. The Archbishop Oleksii Hromadskyi created the Autonomous Orthodox Church under the Moscow Patriarchate. The Metropolitan Dionisii Valedynskyi of Warsaw gave his blessing for the establishment of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church and designated Archbishop Polikarp Sikorskyi as administrator of the church. In February 1942 Sikorsky consecrated the first two bishops of the UAOC on Ukrainian territory (Nykanor Abramovych and Ihor Huba), and in May 1942 the Kyiv Council of UAOC bishops elected Dionisii as locum tenens of the Metropolitan See of Kyiv. It should be emphasized that the hierarchs of both jurisdictions were forced to sign archpastoral appeals containing obeisance towards the occupiers, to pray for the German authorities and army during worships, and to encourage young people to go and work in Germany. The UAOC of the 1940s is not a sectarian and collaboracionist group, but an independent Church with canonical bishops, which through the Warsaw Metropolitanate was in eucharistic communion with other local churches. Key words : the Orthodox Church , autocephaly , hierarchy , canonicity , occupation Introduction Throughout the XX century, the autocephaly was a kind of apple of discord in Ukraine’s Orthodox Church. This applies to autocephaly both proclaimed in 1921 by the Local Council of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (UAOC) in Kyiv, and the Polish Autocephaly granted by the Tomos of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople to the Orthodox Church in Poland (where most of the Orthodox parishes were Ukrainian) in 1924.

  • Contribution of Archbishop Volodymyr Sternyuk to the Evolution of the Underground Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church
    CONTRIBUTION OF ARCHBISHOP VOLODYMYR STERNYUK TO THE EVOLUTION OF THE UNDERGROUND UKRAINIAN GREEK CATHOLIC CHURCH Mariya KOKHANOVSKA Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (Ukraine) e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This article analyses Archbishop Volodymyr Sternyuk’s role in the history of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC). It explores the scientific and spiritual development of Volodymyr Sternyuk and his contacts with prominent personalities during his time as Church leader when the Church itself was abolished by the Soviet authorities. It examines his methods of pastoral and administrative work in the time when UGCC was restricted. The essay illustrates the interconnection of religious and national factors in Volodymyr Sternyuk’s life. Research is based on interviews of parishioners and clergy close to Volodymyr Sternyuk as well as his own recollections. Keywords: Archbishop, Volodymyr Sternyuk, Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, underground Church, religious persecution, prison. Rezumat: Contribuția arhiepiscopului Volodymyr Sternyuk la dezvoltarea Bisericii Greco-Catolice Ucrainene din catacombe. În acest articol este analizată importanţa Arhiepiscopului Volodymyr Sternyuk pentru istoria Bisericii Greco-Catolice Ucrainene (BGCU) din catacombe. Este analizată formarea spirituală şi ştiinţifică a lui Volodymyr Sternyuk, legăturile sale cu diverse persoane ce au avut un rol decisiv în vremea sa, în cadrul bisericii “lichidate” de către puterea sovietică. Articolul pune în evidenţă metodele pastorale-sufleteşti şi ale serviciilor administrative, pe care le folosea Arhiepiscopul Volodymyr Sternyuk în condiţiile interzicerii activităţii BGCU. Este urmărită corelaţia factorului religios-naţional în viaţa lui Volodymyr Sternyuk. Acest material se bazează în principal pe interviuri prelucrate ale persoanelor apropiate de Arhiepiscop, al locțiitorului BGCU, ale unor mireni şi clerici şi pe memoriile acestuia.
