Church (orthodox and Greco-Catholic) and state: relationship after the Uzhgorod union

In the article, on the basis of unknown archival materials, considered are the features of the relationship between Orthodox and Uniates after the Uzhgorod Union (1646) in the territory of Subcarpathian Russia for three centuries. One of the main objectives of the study is to show the reaction of the state to the relationship between the two largest denominations in this region. A large place is given to the analysis of the mass return of Uniates to the bosom of the Orthodox Church, which took place in the early twentieth century. It was the result of the national Slavic revival of the second half of the nineteenth century and turned out to be associated with the names of church leaders now glorified by the Church: the St. Alexy (Tovt), the St. Alexy Karpatorussky (Kabalyuk) and the St. Martyr Gorazd (Pavlik). Against the background of the confessional feat of these saints, the article describes the Marmaros - Sighet trials of the Orthodox, the creation of an Orthodox printing house in Ladomirov (Slovakia), which played a key role in the revival of Orthodoxy in Subcarpathian Russia.
