History of the UPA: Memories of the Insurgents

October 4, 2002, Kyiv.

On video: scientific and practical conference dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the All-Ukrainian Orthodox Unification Council of June 25–26, 1992; speech by Patriarch of Kyiv and All Rus-Ukraine of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate Filaret, who speaks about the importance of unifying the Orthodox and the need to affirm the faith; speech by Leonid Kravchuk on the right to faith; clergymen participate in the discussion, ask questions; repeated speech by Filaret, dedicated to the topic of creating a single autocephalous Orthodox Church of Ukraine, as well as opposition from the Moscow Patriarchate against the background of the support of the Constantinople Patriarchate for the unification process.

Comments: Patriarch of Kyiv and All Rus-Ukraine of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate Filaret; first President of Ukraine, People's Deputy Leonid Kravchuk.

Reference: The All-Ukrainian Orthodox Unification Council was held in Kyiv on June 25–26, 1992, with the participation of part of the episcopate of the UOC (MP) headed by Metropolitan Filaret and part of the UAOC. The Council proclaimed the formation of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate, designated Mstislav as Patriarch and Metropolitan Filaret as his deputy. The event consolidated the course for the institutional independence of Ukrainian Orthodoxy and caused a long-term canonical conflict between the jurisdictions involved. The Moscow Patriarchate sharply opposed the decisions of the Council, considering them uncanonical and politically motivated, while the Patriarchate of Constantinople generally supported the aspirations of Ukrainian Orthodoxy for autocephaly.

10th Anniversary of the All-Ukrainian Orthodox Unification Council

1990, autumn, Kyiv.

The video shows a mass protest in the city centre against Moscow's attempts to establish control over St. Sophia Cathedral. St. Sophia Cathedral, protesters with flags, banners and placards, police. 

Comments: Serhiy Dovgal, delegate of the People's Movement of Ukraine, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Society of the Ukrainian Language; Tetiana Redyuk, deputy of the Rivne City Council; Dmytro Pavlychko, poet of the 1960s, Hero of Ukraine; Mykola Porovskyi, People's Deputy; clergyman; Kyiv residents.

Reference: On 28 October 1990, Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow arrived in Kyiv. In St. Sophia Cathedral, he solemnly announced the decision of the Bishops' Council of the Russian Orthodox Church and presented Metropolitan Filaret with the Tomos of ‘autonomy and independence in governance’ of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

In fact, the ‘autonomy’ of the UOC granted by Moscow did not mean complete independence — the church remained under the canonical and administrative dependence of the Russian Orthodox Church. Researchers believe that this decision was more of a political move: it was intended to mask the ROC's unwillingness to grant true autocephaly and to preserve Moscow's influence on church life in Ukraine. Thus, the formal expansion of the UOC's rights was accompanied by the actual preservation of control through canonical ties and the participation of church representatives in the structures of the ROC.
