The article analyses the legendary prediction about the fate of Patriarch Filaret of Moscow twice included in the text of "The Tale of Victorious Moscow State". The essence of the prediction is that Patriarch Hermogenes of Moscow "at the end of" his life secretly appointed Filaret the Metropolitan of Rostov as the Patriarch of all Rus'. The prediction is divided into two parts: the fi rst is dedicated to the fate of the Metropolitan; the second, to the deeds of the king Sigismund III of Poland. The motifs given in the prediction are developed in the subsequent story about the Russian embassy to the Polish king and are repeated in the narrative about the election of Filaret to the patriarchal throne, completing repeated story about the legend. Analysis of the literary form, which is unusual for the cycle of works on the Time of Troubles, leads to the conclusion that in later works about the Time of Troubles, legendary political episodes appear and have ideological signifi cance relevant to the 1620s – "to prove the legality" of the election.

Therefore, we have proceeded to the investigation of the journals from the ecumenical area that spoke about it, and we analysed the way how they saw it and emphasised the main elements that have raised their interest. Together with the ecclesiastical challenges, we found that they were also interested in this problem not only for its theological meaning but also because of its geopolitical relevance. The research, based on the literature investigated, therefore presents the Ukrainian problem and its image in the ecumenical space. CONTRIBUTION : The research investigates how the image of the Eastern Orthodox Church changed in the ecumenical space after the foundation of the New Ukrainian Church and the debates that followed inside of the Orthodox space in this context. It is linked with the scope of the journal due to the fact that investigates a topic relevant for the ecumenical area and presents a topic that can contribute in the future to the change of the relationships with different churches with ...

The researcher does not try to justify his actions in Vladimir and actions, instead by a task leaves of young scientists. He implies that the other choice was not in the Vladyka. The most important idea that permeates all research – the nature and spirit of Vladimir. Step by step, thought by thought and by proving that Metropolitan - Ukrainian and patriot his homeland. In just 22 years, he built genuine Ukrainian church. Church with pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian sentiments. He managed preserve the integrity of the church.
