Abstract
Based upon the Ukrainian hierarchs’ epistolary legacy, the article analyzes characteristic
features of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy intellectual space, which was created by Academy
alumni of different generations and various hierarchy levels. The author establishes that
the closest relations were between correspondents belonging to the same or almost
same hierarchy level and who were bonded together by the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy
educational system and school comradeship, eventually obtained high positions
in the hierarchy. Communication within the boundaries of individual centers (the
Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, collegiums in Chernihiv, Kharkiv,
and Pereiaslav, seats of Ukrainian bishops in Russia, etc.) depended on specificity of
the environment. Predominant themes encountered in the letters of the Ukrainian
bishops included needs of the alma mater, the Kyiv Academy, and the collegiums. The
correspondence addressed issues of their legal status, academic staff, financial support,
as well as the literary work and publishing activities of the hierarchs.
