The purpose is to cover the activity of the leadership of the Chernihiv diocese. The collective social portrait of the Chernihiv ruling archbishops and vicarian bishops of the Chernihiv diocese of 19th — began 20th centuries is presented in the article. Their social and ethnic origin is considered. Their level of education and administrative experience are studied. The scientific and preaching activity of the Chernihiv archbishops and bishops, obtaining their scientific degrees, are covered. The activities of the Chernihiv hierarchs in reorganizing the system of spiritual government, contributing to the development of the Chernihiv diocese, the relations with the local clergy, and the local church traditions are considered. At the same time, the changes in the ethnic composition of the leadership of the Chernihiv diocese of the 19th century were traced compared with those in the 18th century. A short description is given to every bishop. Materials of legislative acts, business documentation, diaries, memoirs, and letters are used in the article. The methodological basis of the research is the principle of historical method, objectivity.
Applied methods are problemchronologic, genetic, prosopography, religious anthropology.
A scientific novelty lies in the creation of the collective portrait of leaders of the Chernihiv diocese based on their social and ethnic origin, level of education and scientific work, career advancement, and role at the Chernihiv department.
The main results. Analysis of the collective portrait of the Chernihiv bishops exposed the intentional imperial church politics, oriented to russification, centralization, and unitization of Ukrainian lands annexed at the end of 18th century in particular, Chernihiv-Sivershchyna, the heart of the Ukrainian Cossack state. Chernihiv bishops performed the pastor’s duties properly and were the agents of imperial public and church policy. Vicarian bishops were the cohorts of ruling bishops performing second-rate duties. For many this was a step in a career advancement.
