МІЖКОНФЕСІЙНІ КОНВЕРСІЇ НА ПРАВОБЕРЕЖНІЙ УКРАЇНІ У 1793–1830 РР. (Multiple languages)

Ukraine is a multi-religious country, where interconfessional conversions are a frequent phenomenon that requires scientific understanding. Like the problem of modern conversions, the issue of interconfessional conversions on Right- Bank Ukraine in 1793-1830 remains partially explored. Target setting. Some scholars have highlighted in their works some facts about interconfessional conversions in the period 1793-1830. However, their work covers either individual confessions or certain areas of Right-Bank Ukraine. However, there is a lack of work about conversions between all Christian confessions in the region throughout its territory at this time. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The issue of intercomfessional conversions on the Right Bank in the period 1793–1830 has been raised by O. Buravsky, B. Khikhlach, V. Los, and other scholars over the last decade, but it remains poorly studied due to the fragmentary nature of their researches. The research objective. To analyze the quantitative dimension of interconfessional conversions on Right- Bank Ukraine in 1793-1830, their nature, to compare the success of the Catholic- Uniate and Orthodox missions. The statement of basic materials. After the annexation of Right-Bank Ukraine in 1793–1795, the Russian Empire already in 1796 reached an Orthodox majority here by mass voluntary and forceful conversions. Violent conversions touched primarily Uniatism, which had varying degrees of rooting in the eastern and western parts of the region. In the following period, from 1797 to 1830, there was a partial return of the lost positions of the Uniate and Roman Catholic Churches,due to the conversion of dozens and hundreds of Orthodox to these confessions. The restoration of the positions of Uniatism and Roman Catholicism was caused by the legal chaos in the legislation of the region caused by the simultaneous action of the old Polish and new Russian legislation. Mass conversions to Orthodoxy after 1830 completely leveled the achievements of the Roman Catholic and Uniate mission among the Orthodox in the previous period. Conclusions. The period of 1793– 1830 in Right-Bank Ukraine regarding interconfessional conversions can be divided into two subperiods: 1793–1796, when the state-supported Orthodox mission was successful, and 1797–1830, the years of successful Roman Catholic and Uniate missions among the Orthodox. Further comparative study of the quantitative and qualitative measurement of interconfessional conversions in the region in 1793–1830 and adjacent periods and the study of local features of these conversions remains promising.
