Abstract
This article is based on the results of field studies of members of Protestant religious organizations operating in the Southern, Middle and Polar Urals. Ukrainians represent the largest ethnic group among the Protestants of the studied regions, having a "foreign" origin; studies have revealed that the largest ethnic group that is the bearer of Protestantism in the Urals are Russians. The purpose of this work is to determine the value orientations of Ukrainians-members of the Protestant communities of the Ural region, the results of processing field materials are presented in comparison with data on Russian Protestants. Research evidence shows that more than half of both groups are not prosperous theologians. However, there are more potential “heroes of faith” who are ready to endure various difficulties and who do not consider achieving success in life an indispensable attribute of Christian life among Ukrainian respondents. In our opinion, this fact is explained by the fact that Protestantism historically has more rooted traditions in Ukraine than in Russia - members of the Protestant formations of the Ural regions who were born and lived for some time in Ukraine, having arrived in the Russian Federation, could bring with them more evangelically oriented values.
