The article presents the facts of material damage caused by the German-Romanian invaders to the institutions of the Orthodox Church of Moldova. The analysis of the archives of the Republic of Moldova, the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic and the works of researchers revealed three stages of damage inflicted by the invaders on religious organizations. The total amount of damage amounted to 91.5 million rubles, including church buildings – 22,580,000 rubles (including the churches of Pridnestrovie – 4,192,423 rubles). The invaders destroyed the buildings of 44 churches and 2 chapels, partially damaged 22 churches. Dozens of valuable religious shrines were removed from Moldovan churches and monasteries. The most valuable loss is a copy of the Gerbovetsky Icon of the Most Holy Mother of God (worth 120 mln rubles). The invaders also stole church utensils and priestly vestments. The motive for these actions was the alleged desire to “save” the shrines from destruction by the Bolsheviks. The leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church has repeatedly raised the question of returning the valuables taken by the occupiers to the Romanian side. However, the problem has not been solved, though a small part of the property stolen by the invaders returned to the Moldovan churches.

The paper presents the analysis of the financial and economic activity of the Kemerovo Deanery of the Russian Orthodox Church Diocese of Novosibirsk and Barnaul under a controversial government policy when the Russian Orthodox Church continued to be subject to restrictions and harassment even after receiving a legal status in the USSR. On the basis of archival documents, especially accounting and deanery reports, the authors examine the main sources of income and expenditures of the Orthodox community of Kemerovo Region. Upon the application of a systematic and comprehensive approach in the study of the factors that had a significant impact on the activities of the Russian Orthodox Church, the authors conclude that there was sufficient stability in the financial situation of the Orthodox parishes in Kemerovo Region in 1945 – 1965. For two decades, in terms of anti-religious propaganda, the Orthodox parishes were self-funded, continued to have significant tangible property, carried out religious centers deductions and contributions to public funds.

The article is based on the comparative analysis of regulatory and administrative documents, record keeping and information and reference materials, periodicals and Internet resources. The author identifies the causes, determines the performance, features and results of the process of changing the size and characteristics of the Episcopal body of Russian Orthodox Church dioceses in the south of Western Siberia at the beginning of the XXI century. The process in question was directly related to the reform of "splitting" the dioceses of the Russian Orthodox Church in 2011 – 2015. It proceeded in line with national trends, but had a number of negative consequences for the dioceses of the region due to the fact that they being "young" had a less developed organizational and management structure, material and economic basis compared with the dioceses of the European part of Russia. The reform, which has a positive deferred effect on the ROC, at the target stage, led to an increase in the number of dioceses and ruling bishops from 5 to 18, to the rejuvenation of the Episcopal body while reducing the level of theological education, management experience and monastic life. Based on the analysis of the reform the author presupposes what impact the results will have on strengthening the management and development of the organizational structure of the ROC administrative-territorial units in the south of Western Siberia.

Religious Landscape

This article focuses on the decline of the Russian Orthodox Church landscape during the period 1917-1941 in one of the key Russian provincial cities — Ekaterinburg (named Sverdlovsk in 1924). It was during this period that the Soviet state carried out the most comprehensive attacks on religion, closing churches, destroying religious organizations and their buildings as well as persecuting religious leaders. We use the “religious landscape” concept to analyze the evolution of the religious situation in the city. However, we studied not only the main markers of religion in Ekaterinburg, but also the number of parishioners and the frequency of everyday religious rites. The study is based on documents extracted from the local archives and statistical aggregates. This allowed us to reconstruct the decline of the Orthodox landscape and its main features in three different periods between 1917 and 1941. We argue that the Bolsheviks’ anti-religious measures in the 1920s should be considered as part of the general European secularization, which started before 1917. The data obtained give grounds to put forward a hypothesis about the weak effect of the Bolsheviks’ measures regarding the Orthodox Church nucleus — its active parishioners, for about 25% of the city’s population kept practicing the main religious rites until the mid-1930s.

The article identifies the place and role of the political component in the conflictization of interconfessional relations in Ukraine by taking into consideration that the network of religious organizations in our country is one of the largest on the European continent. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the political component in the conflictization of interconfessional relations in Ukrainian Orthodoxy. During more than thousand years the Orthodoxy, despite the conflicts between the churches and their believers in past and present is still the most widespread Christian confession in Ukraine. Moreover, it saved a tendency to the inner unity, including creation of the Local Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU). Obtaining by the Orthodox Church of Ukraine on January 6, 2019 from the Ecumenical Patriarchate the Thomas was an important step in founding of independent and competent national church. This is also evidenced by the fact that during the first year of existing of the OCU the number of its parishes increase up to 7,000, not less important is the fact that three churches: The Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, the Hellenic Church and the Patriarchate of Alexandria recognized the OCU and this already testifies its international acceptance as the part of Orthodoxy. Undoubtedly, the Russian occupation of Crimea and Putin's war in Donbas and the support of these shameful actions by the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) and its Ukrainian branch, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC MP) served to the political choices and self-identification of a big part of Ukrainian believers and it gives hope for the gradual stabilization (deconflictization) of interconfessional relations in the Ukrainian Orthodoxy.
