Summary/Abstract: The social transformations that have been taking place in Ukraine since late 2013 have greatly affected inter-church relations. The Orthodox Church under the Kyiv Patriarchate, which actively supported the EuroMaidan, emerged from the revolution with a strong moral ascendancy and enhanced its own reputation in the society. For the Moscow Patriarchate, these events turned out to be somewhat of a disaster. Only some priests supported the protests and the activities of the Moscow Patriarchate in Ukraine are openly criticised by the society today.
