Balaklytsky, Maksym and Polumysna, Olga (2025) The Image of Ukrainian Protestantism as an Attempt of Self-Analysis: Results of the Expert Survey 2018-2024. Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe, XLV (1). pp. 71-85. ISSN 1069-4781

The article examines the changes in Ukrainian Protestantism during 2018-2024 based on expert surveys. The authors explore the adaptive strategies of Protestant communities in response to the challenges of war and social transformations. The introduction of new forms of ministry, such as mobile churches, has supported believers in times of crisis. Particular attention is given to the consequences of the armed conflict, including community losses, infrastructure destruction, displacement of members, and the humanitarian activities of churches. The role of Protestant communities in enhancing Ukraine's social resilience is highlighted, along with the importance of the legislative recognition of chaplains, which legitimizes their ministry. Despite significant losses, Ukrainian Protestantism remains a vital spiritual and social institution in modern society.
