The historic decision of the Ecumenical Patriarchate to grant autocephaly to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) in 2018–19 dominated the news and heightened tensions between the world’s Orthodox Churches. This essay connects the events that led to the creation of the OCU to the modern history of Orthodoxy in Ukraine by discussing aspects of politics, history, and ecclesiology based on the author’s 2018 monograph, The Orthodox Church in Ukraine: A Century of Separation (Northern Illinois University Press)
