INTERCONFESSIONAL CONVERSIONS IN RIGHT-BANK UKRAINE IN THE PERIOD 1793–1830

Анотація

The statement of basic materials. After the annexation of Right-Bank Ukraine in 1793–1795, the Russian Empire already in 1796 reached an Orthodox majority here by mass voluntary and forceful conversions. Violent conversions touched primarily Uniatism, which had varying degrees of rooting in the eastern and western parts of the region. In the following period, from 1797 to 1830, there was a partial return of the lost positions of the Uniate and Roman Catholic Churches, due to the conversion of dozens and hundreds of Orthodox to these confessions. The restoration of the positions of Uniatism and Roman Catholicism was caused by the legal chaos in the legislation of the region caused by the simultaneous action of the old Polish and new Russian legislation. Mass conversions to Orthodoxy after 1830 completely leveled the achievements of the Roman Catholic and Uniate mission among the Orthodox in the previous period. Conclusions. The period of 1793–1830 in Right-Bank Ukraine regarding interconfessional conversions can be divided into two subperiods: 1793–1796, when the state-supported Orthodox mission was successful, and 1797–1830, the years of successful Roman Catholic and Uniate missions among the Orthodox. Further comparative study of the quantitative and qualitative measurement of interconfessional conversions in the region in 1793–1830 and adjacent periods and the study of local features of these conversions remains promising.
