SOROKOWSKI, ANDREW
- Abstract
The article discusses efforts to legalize the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC) in the Soviet Union during the late 20th century. According to the author, legalization was pursued as a means of increasing the UGCC's ability to fulfill its mission. Details on the consequences of legalization, including the integration of some formerly Russian Orthodox clergy into the UGCC, are presented. Other topics include freedom of religion and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.
