UAOC in the Elisavetgrad region: from dawn to extinction
Journal Title: Eminak - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The article reveals the formation and decline of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (UAOC) on the territory of modern Kirovograd region in the 1920s. It is noted that unlike other cities of the former Kherson province (gubernia), Elisavetgrad district (uiezd), ironically, special attraction to Ukrainianization of Orthodox churches. Therewith, individual parishes sought to Ukrainize God’s Service in their temples. By the middle of 1925, six district parishes had transferred to the UAOC. A significant number of believers had Ukrainian parishes Elisavetgrad-Zinovievsk, Novomirgorod, individual rural parishes. A significant decline in the distribution of the UAOC in the second half of the 1920s is due to a number of reasons: obstruction by the Soviet authorities, the split in the UAOC and the emergence of the Church of Activity, interfaith confrontation in the Orthodox environment and low moral of a number of clergymen, who came to the local parishes. A special place in the work is occupied by personalized characteristics of the clergy – bishops and individual priests, who played a significant role in the life of the UAOC in the territory of the Zinovievsky district (Ivan Gulevich, Feofan Homja, Vladimir Aushev, Yefim Kalishevsky).
