Abstract

The article is devoted to the preparation, conduct and results of the trip of the delegation of the Orthodox Mukachevo-Presov Region Orthodox diocese in Moscow in December 1944. According to archival documents in the organization of this event, the main role was played by the military leadership of the political directorate of the 4th Ukrainian Front. We assume that they were behind the preparation of the main documents that were sent to Moscow. They have contributed to the material implementation of the most trips, meetings and audiences. This move was used by the Soviet leadership in political bargaining with Czechoslovakia and in spreading its influence in Western Ukraine.
