The book is based on many years of scientific research and the result of fact-checking the truth and falsehoods about the history of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. This work is the first attempt to present scientific and historical information about the complex centuries-old path of Christianity and the Orthodox Church on the territory of Ukraine in an artistic and journalistic style. So, if you are wondering why the Church is not a temple; what autocephaly is, where it came from, why and who needs it, what to do with it and where to get it; where Orthodoxy came from in Ukraine and whether Prince Volodymyr's baptism was the first; how the Metropolitan of Kyiv ended up in Moscow and how Volynians built the Moscow Church (both the temple and the institution); when Greek Catholics (the so-called Uniates) appeared and who they are; why Hetman Petro Sahaidachnyi is not only an outstanding Ukrainian commander who marched victoriously on Moscow, but also the saviour of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church; why the twentieth century is called the "parade of Ukrainian autocephaly"; why there were as many as three Orthodox Churches in independent Ukraine, and all three claimed to be Ukrainian and autocephalous; where did the Church subordinate to the Moscow Patriarchate come from in Ukraine, and what is wrong with it; what is the Tomos, and is it really what Ukrainians have been seeking so much; can the Tomos put an end to the history of the formation of the Ukrainian Church, and what are the possible options for further development of the religious situation in Ukraine - in short, if you want to understand what is happening to the Ukrainian Church, this book is for you.
