Summary/Abstract: The Polish government aimed at finalizing the matter of autocephaly as soon as possible.Initially, he laid the foundations for a diplomatic mission in Moscow, which eventually led to negotiationswith the Moscow Patriarchate. The Ministry of Religious Affairs and Public Enlightenment sought toinitially regulate the matter of the Orthodox Church within its competence, namely in the area of theCongress Kingdom, conducting talks with representatives of the Civil Administration of Eastern Territoriesin Vilnius and the Civil Administration of Volhynia and Podolia. Preliminary talks between the governmentand church hierarchs on autocephaly in the period from independence to the end of the Polish-Soviet warwith the Treaty of Riga of March 18, 1921 were an important step in regulating the canonical and legalposition of the Orthodox Church in Poland.
