<div>Since Ukrainian independence, the religious situation and
religious relations in Ukraine have been the focus of international
attention. The rebirth of Churches and religious institutions has been
accompanied by vigorous competition for the loyalty of Ukraine's
believers. The visit of Pope John Paul II to Ukraine and current visit
of the newly elected Patriarch of Moscow, Kirill, testify to the
centrality of Ukraine both in the Catholic and Orthodox worlds.
Ecclesiastical affairs, above all the allegiance of Orthodox
believers, have greatly influenced the processes of state-building and
nation-building in Ukraine.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>CIUS Press has published a number of monographs and collections
of essays on problems of religious history by authors and editors such
as Ihor Sevcenko, Yaroslav Isaievych, Geoffrey Hosking, Andrij
Krawczuk, Paul R. Magocsi, Bohdan Bociurkiw, and David Goa. To those
interested in the current religious situation in Ukraine, the volume
of essays by Serhii Plokhy and Frank E. Sysyn, entitled Religion and
Nation in Modern Ukraine, has been especially welcome. The over 15
reviews of the volume have praised this edition as a greatly needed
authoritative work on modern religious affairs in Ukraine.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div> The internationally renowned specialist on religious
affairs Michael Bourdeaux evaluated the volume in the Slavic
Review, in the following manner: "Since the collapse of the
Soviet Union, Ukraine has been called the 'sleeping giant' of
Europe-one of the continent's most populous nations, but one that has
so far had minimal impact on international affairs. Far too little is
being published, whether in the realm of scholarly studies or in the
press, about this vast new independent country. Religion and Nation in
Modern Ukraine is, therefore, not only a welcome addition to the
literature, but an excellent book in its own right. As scholars
conversant with Ukraine will know, the names of Serhii Plokhy and
Frank E. Sysyn guarantee the quality of the work. Each has a profound
insight into the complex issues facing the country today."</div>

<div>The specialist on religious groups in contemporary Ukraine, above
all the Protestants, Catherine Wanner, characterized the topic and
volume thusly: "It was not until the late 1980s that many
scholars from a plethora of disciplines were forced to concede that
they had underestimated the importance of nationality issues, and
especially of religion, as forces shaping Soviet history. Few scholars
engaged the dynamic interaction of nationality and religion as they
played out historically in politics and the daily life of Soviet
citizens. The two authors of this book went against this trend and
have over the years amassed a distinguished record of scholarship in
the fields of Ukrainian history and of religious life over the
centuries in this strategically important borderland." (See the
