Abstract
The reviewed book is devoted to the process of creating the Bilgorod Eparchy, as part of those transformations that were aimed at organizing church life within the Bilgorod fortified line. Particular attention is paid to the appearance in these territories of the socalled «other» Orthodox, who were believers of the Kyiv Metropolis, and who came to these lands with their customs and peculiarities, determined by the reforms of Metropolitan Petro Mohyla and his successors. Accordingly, the author studies various aspects of the meeting of different church traditions and practices, in particular the attitude of church hierarchs to the Ukrainian population, the forms of interaction of new «colonies» with Kyiv. One of the important conclusions of the book is that the process of implementing Synodal reforms in the Bilgorod diocese had a pronounced «Kyiv character», which was especially evident in the «Little Russian» part of the diocese.
