The struggle for the ukrainization of Orthodoxy in the Kherson-Odessa eparchy in the times of the national liberation struggle (1917-1920)

Journal Title: Eminak - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 3

Abstract

The article reveals the formation of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church in the Southern region, namely the time of the struggle for the ukrainization and autocephaly of the Russian Orthodox Church during the national liberation struggle (1917-1920). An important feature of this process is its lock connection with the national movement, when the driving power was not only the clergy, but also the laity, who fought hard for the national idea. This trait was especially pronounced in the South of Ukraine, where the clergy was the full russified, and the drivers of the local «Prosvita», who were the conscious and sincere Ukrainians, became the driving power to the creation of Ukrainian parishes. During 1917-1918, certain changes occurred in the decisions of the congresses of the Kherson-Odesa eparchy, but most of the clergy, headed by the eparchy, remained on previous, in fact monarchical positions. Pro-Russian orientation was clearly manifested in the times of the General Denikin and the Entente in 1919. The continuation of the ukrainization of the Orthodox Church in the South of Ukraine, oddly enough, was only with the final establishment of Soviet power.
