This first special issue of the Newsletter provides a deeper insight into a German-Ukrainian collaborative project dealing with the provenience research related to a unique historical document, to the religious history of Ukraine and echoes of World War II.

Until recently the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen (Germany) had on display a marvelous historic document, the charter issued by the Moscow’s tsar Peter I in 1708, which confirmed Ioasaph Krokovskyi (1650-es – 1718) as metropolitan of Kyiv. Now a German-Ukrainian team of historians from the Institute for Eastern European History & Area Studies, University of Tübingen investigated the provenience of this important document.

In this special issue of our Newsletter (attached, or follow this link: http://ukrainet.eu/2018/11/30/newsletter-special/) you can find a summary of this interesting research, written by Dr. Natalia Sinkevych (University of Tübingen) as well as an insightful historical commentary (in English and in Ukrainian), prepared by Dr. Oleh Turiy (Director of the Institute of Church History, Ukrainian Catholic University, Lviv) and Anatoliy Babynskyi (Ukrainian Catholic University, Lviv), allowing to place the document, around which this research is centered, into the broader historical context.
