Abstract
Church Revolution of 1917 in provincial dioceses have not studied the problem. Revolution Church is part of the political revolution, but it has received little attention in historiography. Ekaterinoslav diocese was one of the largest in the European part of the Russian Empire. Its reaction to the February 1917 revolution is almost unexplored because of the lack of archival sources in the local archive. We aim to reconstruct the first reaction of the diocese clergy and parishioners to the revolutionary events in the state. To this end, we plan to rely on sources that have not been used by researchers. Position of the Eraterynoslav clergy was revolutionary and renovationism (obnovlenchestvo). In March almost none of the clergy protested against the revolution. Bishop Agapit not fought with revolutionary clergy and laity and blessed diocesan meeting. The confrontation between the Bishop and Diocesan Committee in March has not been very noticeable. The revolution was perceived positively by the Ekaterinoslav clergy. This fact was founded on the numerous diocese documents. Ukrainian question in the first diocesan convention was not considered because it was considered not relevant. Requirements clergy were mostly utilitarian and focused on the redistribution of financial resources and authority in the diocese. Laity requirements had not political or national characterat the beginning. Parishes just wanted to organize the liturgy order, people’s morality and clergy mode of life.
