In her report delivered on January 30, 2023 at the Berkley Center webinar, Nadieszda Kizenko, professor and director of the Religious Studies Program at the State University of New York (Albany, USA), analyzes the complex situation surrounding the possible ban of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
As a result of her reflections, she comes to the conclusion: “I am not claiming that the UOC is impeccable, or that has done everything right. Far from it. They have made more than a few mistakes. But those mistakes do not constitute hanging offenses. They do not give the Ukrainian government the right to deny the UOC the right to exist”.
