Justification Through Religion

in the campaign “Annexation of the Kyiv Metropolis by the Moscow Patriarchate (1685–1690)”

The annexation of the metropolitanate was disguised as the protection of co-religionists: the reform was carried out "relying on the Orthodox movement against the Turkish conquerors"[1], and "Golitsyn's main project concerning Ukraine… became the reform of the Ukrainian Orthodox church, or rather – the subordination of the Kyiv metropolitanate to the Moscow patriarch"[1][2].
