Abstract

One of the problems that interested Rychynskyy the most was the question of the role of the national moment in religious life, of the relation between national and religious. This issue was considered in one way or another in a number of his works, including "On the Manovtsi", "Problems of Ukrainian Religious Consciousness" and others. Researchers, in particular, A. Kolodny, O. Sagan, L. Kondratyk, P. Yarotsky, have paid attention to this question, analyzing A.Richinsky's creativity. The first factor is the Orthodox religiosity of A.Richinsky, which was founded in his childhood. After all, he was brought up in the family of a priest, and this could not but affect his views. A.Richinsky has always been respectful of the religious tradition, repeatedly focusing on this.
