Příspěvek k poznání aktivit arcibiskupa Sawatije na Podkarpatské Rusi v první polovině 20. století
Contribution to the Knowledge of the Activities of Archbishop Savatije in Ruthenia in the First Half of the 20th Century

Summary/Abstract: Among the problems of historiography there is also the problem of jurisdic-tional affiliation of the Orthodox Christians in the territory of Czechoslovakia in the inter-war period, eventually the dispute between the Serbian and Constantinopolitan Orthodox Church in the matter of the administration of the Orthodox community in the above mentioned territory. Up to now both Orthodox Christians themselves and historiography have coped with this problem with difficulties and they have tried to solve it mostly by one-sided tilt to one side or the other, and, accordingly, they have interpreted and evalu-ated the activities of both Orthodox factions symbolized by the personalities of bishops Gorazd and Savatije. In this context comes to the fore the urgent requirement for deeper knowledge of life and work of Archimandrite Savatije (civil name Antonín Vrabec), the central figure of the beginnings of the Orthodox Church after the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic in 1918.
