Abstract
The Polish government aimed at finalizing the matter of autocephaly as soon as possible. Initially, he laid the foundations for a diplomatic mission in Moscow, which eventually led to negotiations with the Moscow Patriarchate. The Ministry of Religious Affairs and Public Enlightenment sought to initially regulate the matter of the Orthodox Church within its competence, namely in the area of the Congress Kingdom, conducting talks with representatives of the Civil Administration of Eastern Territories in Vilnius and the Civil Administration of Volhynia and Podolia. Preliminary talks between the government and church hierarchs on autocephaly in the period from independence to the end of the Polish-Soviet war with the Treaty of Riga of March 18, 1921 were an important step in regulating the canonical and legal position of the Orthodox Church in Poland.
