Abstract

The article analyzes the influence of the Kremlin's revanchist policy on religious conflicts in modern Ukraine. It is revealed that the Russian state has existed for three centuries in the format of an empire (feudalcapitalist, totalitarian-Soviet, and autocratic), during which time Ukraine and Ukrainians were an important component of these imperial state formations. It was found that almost a quarter of a century of inactivity of the domestic authorities and active anti-Ukrainian and anti-state actions of the Russian Orthodox Church and its Little Russia branch of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate contributed to their introduction into the Ukrainian humanitarian space. later led to the so-called "Russian spring" in 2014. It is proved that the armed and information aggression of the Russian Federation in early 2014, intensified by the anti-Ukrainian activities of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, called into question the very existence of Ukrainian statehood and the Ukrainian nation, but thanks to the all-Ukrainian The enemy was stopped by the Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate. It is shown that the combination of efforts of the Ukrainian authorities, civil society and believers is extremely important for the development of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. It was revealed that for the final victory over the Russian aggressor, in addition to military, geopolitical, diplomatic, political, economic, ethnocultural factors, it will be necessary to use the sacred-spiritual factor - the unification of Ukrainian Orthodoxy into the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and its national-patriotic state activity to overcome the Kremlin's revanchist policy towards the Ukrainian nation and eliminate religious conflicts in modern Ukraine.
