| Summary: | The article offers a general overview of the conflicting political theologies developed by rivaling churches and religious movements in Ukrainian Orthodoxy with the view to protecting their ideological agendas and institutional interests under different socio-political circumstances. It explores the dynamics of politicization and depoliticization of autocephaly and the perspectives on the proper church-state relations in the works of the key representatives of Ukrainian autocephalism in the first half of the 20th c. Based on this, the study analyses how these theological frameworks were further interpreted and employed in the post-Soviet period in the discourses of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate and its successor the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. Finally, the article outlines an alternative political theology of autocephaly advanced by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate in order to justify its unity with the Russian Orthodox Church despite the proclamation of Ukrainian independence in 1991. |
