Abstract

The article considers evolution of the Russian Orthodox Church’s (ROC MP) commemorative strategy on the Soviet famine of 1932–1933. Analyzing materials from the ROC’s and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church’s official website, the author draws main stages of transformation of the narrative about this event and describes the commemorative practices aimed at its implementation. Particular attention is paid to the influence on religious discourse by the secular discourse about the “Holodomor-genocide”, which has become one of the main elements of the “civil religion” in Ukraine.
