Dążenia Kościoła prawosławnego do uregulowania sytuacji prawnej i odbudowy struktury parafialnej w dystrykcie lubelskim w latach 1939–1944. Wprowadzenie do problematyki

Abstract

The article discusses efforts to regulate the legal situation of the Orthodox Church in the Lublin district and the reconstructions of its parishes. This issue is only a narrow part of its history in this area and at the same time in the General Government. However, it allows us to understand what the potential of the Orthodox Church looked like at that time, in what circumstances it had to function and what was the attitude of the occupation authorities towards it. The state of the organizational structure of the Orthodox Church was directly related to the Ukrainian question in the Chełm region and Southern Podlasie, and at the same time in the General Government, as it reflected its demographic potential, religious and institutional background.
