Catholic and Uniate land ownership in the context of the incorporation of Right-Bank Ukraine into the Russian Empire

Abstract

The article deals with issues related to changes in the nature of the land ownership of Catholic and Uniate churches in the Right Bank Ukraine, which were due to the annexation of this region to the Russian Empire at the end of the 18th century. It is noted that during the stay of the Right Bank as part of the Commonwealth, these churches have turned into some of the largest landowners. The Russian government should undermine their positions and promote the spread of Orthodoxy, but on the other hand wanted to get support from local elites who, basically, belonged to these two churches. Therefore, the first years after the accession of the Right Bank to the empire, were held under the sign of a certain compromise: the acquired land holdings of the Catholic and Uniate churches were kept, but from a legal point of view treated as state owned by the clergy.
