Religious issue in the activities of the party of Ukrainian radical-democrats (1905-1930's).

Abstract

The Ukrainian Democratic-Radical Party (UDRP) was formed as a result of the unification of the Ukrainian Democratic and Ukrainian radical party in 1905. Regarding religious affairs, the UDRP program required the separation of the Church from the state and the election of the clergy that was traditional for Ukraine. The party's foundations were local communities that existed autonomously and often raised and resolved on their own. In January, 1905, the Odessa community asked the Russian government to ensure the freedom to use the Ukrainian language in the church.
