Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the reaction of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) to Euromaidan in the Ukraine at the turn of 2013 – 2014. The Church has not taken a clear univocal position, unlike some other religious groups, especially the so-called national Churches. Its official position was confined to general calls for preserving peace and public order, territorial integrity and unity of the people, condemnation of violence, calling for participants of the conflict to begin and continue the dialogue. The causes and consequences of the position taken by the Church are analyzed in detail.
