Expropriation of Resources

in the campaign “Administrative Dismantling and Enserfment of the Left Bank (1781–1786)”

The secularization and confiscation into the imperial treasury of the lands of Ukrainian Orthodox monasteries: "in 1786, during the secularization, the monastery was closed, and its property and lands passed to the state treasury"[1] – the fate of the Sviatohirsk monastery is typical of the entire 1786 campaign, which deprived the local church of its economic base.
