The text before you was developed by the independent information and consulting company Religion Today and represents the fifth annual analytical report prepared by our experts. The first and the second issues, Crisis of modern Orthodox Christianity and Orthodox Church of Ukraine in the Global and Regional Context, represented an analytical digest of actions leading to legalizing the ecclesiastical schism in Ukraine and the role they played in global politics. The third annual report, Isalm in politics and politics in Islam: Structural changes and internal conflicts, dissected the Islamic ummah of the Russian Federation. The fourth annual report, Churches of the Moscow Patriarchate in the Baltic states in times of the political crisis of 2022, discussed the difficult situation in ROC communities in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
The subject of this annual report is “Ukrainian policy towards the UOC in 2023: From discrimination to repressions” and it consists of three parts.
In the first part, traditionally, we offer our readers a list of the events of the past year, so that everyone can draw his or her own conclusions on this topic. The second part offers a detailed analytical article by religious scholar Anastasia Koskello “Dynamics of development of the religious and political situation in Ukraine, political and ideological struggle around the position of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church – the main trends of 2023”. The third part of the annual report contains two interviews with experts: Vakhtang Kipshidze, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Orthodox Church Department for the Church’s Relations with Society and Mass Media, and Roman Lunkin, Doctor of Political Sciences, Head of the Center for the Study of Religion and Society at the Institute of Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
